When it comes to fitness, sometimes a change is as good as a rest. The Ariel Elite Carbon is the perfect bike to help you keep things fresh, designed for versatility and enjoyment above all else. Whether you're rolling out on gravel for some adventurous weekend exploration, or covering the tarmac on your daily commute, the Ariel is equipped to get you where you need to go. The frame is pitched perfectly as a balance between comfort and efficiency it was designed by our expert Body Geometry team, the same brains that work on all of our elite frames. The FACT 9r carbon fibre keeps the weight of the bike incredibly low, so you're always getting the maximum return for every pedal stroke. The frame also features rack, fender and disc mounts, giving you all the versatility you could possibly want. An SR Suntour NCX fork with Fitness Brain tech provides 60mm of suspension travel, helping you to navigate bumpier terrain with ease. That same Fitness Brain system comes into play on the integrated lockout mechanism too stiffening the fork and providing you the ultimate pedalling efficiency when it's time to climb. Tektro Flow Set hydraulic disc brakes provide all the stopping power you could possibly need for riding in any weather conditions.
- Working with our Body Geometry team, we designed a frame that strikes the optimal balance between comfort and efficiency. The FACT 9r carbon fiber keeps the bike ultra-light and efficient, while the rack, fender, and disc mounts give you an incredibly versatile package.
- An SR Suntour NCX fork w/ Fitness Brain technology features 60mm of coil-sprung travel that takes the sting out of bumpy terrain, while an integrated remote lockout is coupled with our Fitness Brain technology to promote more climbing and pedaling efficiency.
- Braking duties are handled by Tektro Flow Set Control hydraulic Disc Brakes to ensure effective, consistent, and reliable power through any kind of terrain or condition.
