DREAM BUILD MTB - Saracen Ariel 60 X - Matt Walker

The brand new range of Saracen bikes has just landed and we got the chance to give the stunning new Saracen Ariel 60 X Frameset the Dream Build treatment. We’ve built up Saracen’s flagship enduro bike for none other than Madison Saracen rider and current Downhill World Cup Series winner, Matt Walker. So naturally, once we’d built the bike up we took it to Matt’s local trails for a test ride! The Ariel 60 is part of the completely redesigned trail bike platform from Saracen, made up of the Ariel 30, Ariel 60 and Ariel 80. You can now view and buy the latest range of Saracen bikes at www.saracen.co.uk.
