Saracen Ariel 50-E

The Ariel 50E says yes. Yes to that extra loop, yes to that impossible climb and yes to every kind of trail. Designed to take on the best British mountain biking, the Ariel is built for everything from all day epics, to trail centre laps. The all-aluminium frame features 150mm travel provided by a capable Fox DPX2 Performance shock, while up front a 160mm Marzocchi Bomber Z1 handles the heaviest of hits.

Shimano's E7000 drive unit provides 250-watts of assistance, delivered with 60Nm of torque. What this delivers is an extremely flexible motor, that has the power to propel you over the toughest terrain, while delivering impressive run times in conjunction with the integrated 504Wh battery.

Along with the preset modes, you can also customise boost and trail settings within Shimano's E-tube app, allowing you to match the support you receive with the terrain and your riding style.

The drivetrain is provided with a mix of Shimano's capable Deore and SLX components, while braking is handled by two-piston Deore callipers matched to 203mm rotors for extra stopping power. DT Swiss HX552 feature a 30mm internal perfectly supporting the Maxxis Minion DHRII tyres. Our small and medium bikes come with mixed wheel size, while the large and extra large utilise the full 29er setup. RaceFace components finish the build, matched to a KS Rage 150mm dropper post.
