Saracen have been doing extensive testing on a prototype 140mm full suspension bike, the Ariel. The above shot was taken in Hawaii where the Ariel had just completed a descent from the top of a volcano finishing in a tinsel factory on the beach.When asked how the Ariel had performed the rider was only able to utter the word 'Rad!', and perform the above ninja dance move.Big headtube, bolt-thru forks, uppy-downy seatpost, 140mm of travel, looks fun to us.A custom tuned Fox Float RP23
What is the maximum fork length? work with a 160mm fork?
Frame only option?
Sizes? – how small does it go?
I’d go for no more than 160mm as it will slacken things off too much. With 160 you could build a mini-mega bike by putting the ISCG mounts to good use.
Sizes – 15″ 17″ 19″…
Frame only – maybe and its only a mybe at present!
hmm, very interesting
be interested to see final prices, options and sizing (Centre to Top?) when its all confirmed…
Interesting!
