What Happens After You Order an Ari Bike

Go behind the scenes at Ari Bikes and see exactly how our bikes are built before they arrive at your door. Checkout our bikes here: https://bit.ly/4bJrt4J In this video, Ari mechanic Dylan walks through the full bike build process — from unboxing the frame and inspecting for quality to installing suspension, cutting the fork, routing brakes, setting up the drivetrain, dialing in cable tension, mounting wheels, and performing final safety checks. Every bike is carefully assembled, tested, and prepared so that when it arrives, it’s ready to ride with minimal setup required. You’ll get an inside look at the precision, tools, and attention to detail that go into every build. From proper torque specs and internal cable routing to brake setup, dropper post installation, drivetrain pairing, and suspension configuration, this is the process that ensures your bike performs exactly as intended on the trail. Before shipping, each bike is fully tested and then professionally packaged to make the unboxing experience simple — so you can spend less time wrenching and more time riding. If you’ve ever wondered how bikes are assembled, what happens before a bike ships, or what separates a professional build from the rest, this is the work most riders never get to see. 00:00 – Intro 00:30 – Prep Steps 01:09 – Installing Suspension 04:05 – Cockpit Setup: Handlebars, Headset & Controls 04:47 – Brake Installation & Internal Cable Routing 07:30 – Bottom Bracket, Cranks & Drivetrain Setup 10:03 – Finishing the Brakes & Lockouts 12:54 – Installing Ceramic Coating 13:24 – Wheels & Tires 14:57 – Installing Chain 15:55 – Drivetrain Setup 17:53 – Dropper Post, Saddle Setup & Bike Fit Checks 20:18 – Final Safety Inspection, Test Ride & Shipping Prep
