Product Details
Take your fitness to new and adventurous levels with the Ariel, a bike that'll see you tackling workouts on paved or dirt surfaces with equal confidence. Its premium aluminum frame is designed with Women's Fitness Geometry and will keep you comfortable while you're burning up the miles. With its reliable and easy-to-maintain rim brakes to help you scrub speed or stop on a dime, and features that are as versatile as they are efficient, you'll find yourself consistently needing to set new goals to achieve in your fitness quest.
Designed for women who want to mix adventure with fitness, the hard-working, sturdy A1 Premium Aluminum frame features Women’s Fitness Geometry—meaning you’ll go fast with maximum efficiency, but without the discomfort of an aggressive ride position. The more comfortable you are, the longer you’ll ride.
Enjoy greater control over varying terrain thanks to the custom, easy-adjust, Multi-Circuit Damping fork with 60mm of travel, tuned for lighter riders.
Stop confidently with easy-to-maintain V-brake, linear pull rim brakes.
