    2020 Ariel – Hydraulic Disc

    You take your fitness journey seriously, and the last thing that you need is to feel restrained by the tools that take you there. That's why our Ariel line comes equipped with suspension forks for fast, efficient, and intuitive use over any surface, a lightweight aluminum frame, and trust-worthy, performance-driven components. This Ariel comes spec'd with all the essentials to get out and get active. An 8-speed drivetrain handles shifting duties while powerful hydraulic disc brakes ensure effective, consistent braking. Last, but certainly not least, a SR Suntour NEX fork with 55mm of travel takes the sting out of pesky bumps and potholes.
