The Women's Specialized Ariel was designed to take you on adventures either with the kids and family or solo. Built with A1 premium aluminium, backed by Specialized's lifetime guarantee, the Ariel is strong and stable offering rugged durability on the toughest of off-road trails and gravel paths. The Ariel Sport is built with improved disc brakes that provide smoother, more reliable stopping power in every weather condition on any surface as well as a 9-speed groupset with more durable components. Finally, an SR Suntour NEX fork comes with 55m of coil-sprung travel, that not only takes the pinch off the road but allows you your body chance to relax even when you're working hard.
TECHNOLOGIES
A1 Premium Design
Designed for women who want to mix adventure with fitness, the hard-working, sturdy A1 Premium Aluminum frame features Specialized's Women’s Fitness Geometry—meaning that you’ll go faster with maximum efficiency, only without the discomfort of an aggressive ride position. The more comfortable you are, the longer you’ll ride.
55mm of coil sprung comfort
An SR Suntour NEX fork w/ Fitness Brain technology features 55mm of coil-sprung travel that takes the sting out of bumpy terrain, while our Fitness Brain technology promotes more climbing and pedalling efficiency.
Improved Braking Quality
Braking duties are handled by Tektro HD-305/310 hydraulic disc brakes to ensure effective, consistent, and reliable power through any kind of terrain or condition.
