Bikepark specialist, the wildest of the Ariel family of mountain bikes
Fun first and 27.5 for life, our take on a park bike is designed to thrive at every UK centre and even the Alps.
Our all-new, custom-butted and hydroformed 6013 aluminium frame has been put to the test by bottom-out king Matt Walker and survived to make it into production. Every millimetre of the 180mm of travel is designed to work hard, whether that's taking out rock chatter and braking bumps, sending the jump line or holding on for traction in loose turns.
The 80 Pro gets the perfect spec sheet for hard charging out on the trails. A Fox DHX2 Performance shock is matched to the Fox 38 Performance Elite fork, providing every adjustment you need and some you'll have to ask Jordi about to understand.
The latest Shimano SLX provides shifting, with an XT rear mech coving the 11-51 wide range cassette. Four-pot Deore brakes bring extra stopping power to the party. The DT Swiss E532 rims are enduro ready, with a 30mm internal providing plenty for the 2.4 Maxxis Minion DHRII tyres to fill out onto. Both are tubeless ready - just add tape, valves and sealant.
