DESCRIPTION
If double-downcountry was a thing, this would be the weapon.
Get over it now, it is a thing and you're going to love it. The Ariel 30 rallies up, down and everywhere in between.
From the local loam, to trail centres and natural stuff that a bike with this little travel should have no right being interested in, this is the one that can do it all.
At the heart of it is our all-new, custom-butted and hydroformed 6013 aluminium frame.
Designed and developed with the help of Matt Walker from our Madison Saracen Factory Racing Team, you know it's been put through the wringer and is built to last and go fast.
Every Ariel 30 features size specific wheels, with small and medium bikes in the 29/27.5 mullet setup, and the large and extra-large sizes 29er models.
But what if you change your mind faster than the bike industry about which wheelsize is best?
We thought of that already. Whichever Ariel 30 you choose, we've included additional push links, that you can swap out and see if the grass really is greener. All you'll need is the right size rear wheel.
No corners are cut on the shock-spec either, as we've included the range-topping Fox DPS Factory with Kashima for that little extra bling.
When it comes to the details, there is internal routing for everything - including a dropper post - room for a 550ml bottle, superboost spacing for additional clearance and big bearings which last longer and are commonly available should you need to refresh them.
All you need to do is add your own components for the perfect do-it-all trail machine.
