The Ariel’s A1 Premium Aluminum frame has rack and fender braze-ons so you have options for carrying gear; forged dropouts add extra strength. The 75mm-travel suspension fork uses coil springs for smooth action and alloy lowers for light weight. The 8-speed compatible Shimano Altus rear derailleur lends reliably crisp, precise shifts. A triple-chainring crankset gives you the gears you need to tackle any climb or descent.
Strengths: Fast, comfortable, easy to ride on trails road, hills ect.
Weaknesses: Cannot fit regular sized water bottle due to the way the frame is built
Bottom Line:
This is a great bike. I need a bike I could ride off road with my husband and my 8 year old son, but I also wanted to participate in a triathlon. This bike is great for what ever I need. Very fast.
