IF YOU FANCY YOURSELF AS THE KING OF THE BIKE PARK, THEN THE NEW ARIEL 80 PRO, WITH ITS LATEST-SPEC, IS THE PERFECT BIKE TO SHOW EVERYONE JUST HOW HARD YOU'RE LIVING THE SIDEWAYS

  • DESCRIPTION

      The New Ariel 80 Pro - Colour TBC

      The Saracen Ariel 80 Pro returns with a fresh new look and updated spec, Created in collaboration with one of the UK's most recognizable faces Jono Jones.

      Known for riding hard, pushing limits and making every lap count, Jono embodies everything the Ariel 80 Pro was built for. So when it came to creating a new limited-edition colourway, there was no better rider to put their stamp on one of Saracen's most capable gravity-focused mountain bikes.

      Updated Spec to include the latest Fox suspension DHX2 shox, New 40mm rise Raceface Atlas Handlebars with GL ride tune and of course the colour that cannot be named.    

      If you live for laps, destroy rear tyres and always send it sideways, you're going to want the Ariel 80.

      Fun first and 27.5 for life, our take on a park bike is designed to thrive at every UK centre and even the Alps.

      This thing loves to pop off lips, swing sideward and flick through trees. The bigger the grin on your face, the harder the Ariel 80 is going to work to keep it there.

      There's internal routing for everything — including a dropper post, superboost spacing for additional clearance, and big bearings which last longer and are commonly available should you need to refresh them.

      Just don't try and stick a 29er fork up front. You’ll set off our inbuilt safety device that’ll alert everyone on PinkBike to the crimes you’re committing.

      Please note — the Saracen Ariel does not come supplied with pedals. Add some from our gear store!

  • FAQ

    • Q: What is a park bike?
      A: A park bike is a mountain bike specifically designed for bike parks, jumps, berms, drops and uplift-assisted riding. It prioritises descending performance, stability and durability over climbing efficiency.

      Q: How much suspension travel does the Ariel 80 have?
      A: The Ariel 80 feature 180mm of suspension travel front and rear, offering enough support for jumps, rough terrain and repeated impacts while remaining playful and responsive.

      Q: What type of riding is the Ariel 80 best for?
      A: The Ariel 80 is designed for bike park riding, jump lines, steep descents, and technical gravity-focused terrain. It performs best in environments where descending performance, stability, and control over rough features are more important than climbing or long-distance efficiency. It is not intended for general trail riding or cross-country use.

      Q: How does it compare to a hardtail MTB?
      A: Compared to a hardtail MTB, the Ariel 80 is far more capable on steep, rough, and feature-heavy terrain thanks to its full suspension design and geometry tuned for descending. Hardtails are lighter and more efficient for pedalling and climbing, but they are less suited to bike park features and high-impact riding. The Ariel 80 is built for control and confidence on descents rather than efficiency.

      Q: What’s the difference between Ariel 30 / 60 / 80?
      A: The Ariel 30, 60, and 80 differ mainly in suspension travel and intended use: the 30 is for general trail riding, the 60 is more capable on aggressive trail and enduro terrain, and the 80 is built for bike park and gravity-focused riding.
