About Saracen

About Saracen in 2012

Saracen has grown up, evolved and matured. They have been working hard during 2011, chipping away misconceptions, defining their own path and 2012 sees the biggest step forward in terms of product, marketing and desirability. The 2012 range has a completely new look with significant highlights to make Saracen not only a key player in the UK but a globally recognised brand.

Saracen are not talking about global domination but are focused on growing global awareness ad building their distribution base. Saracen bikes have received universal acclaim in the UK press since the 2009 re-birth with the award winning Ariel trail bike, Myst privateer downhill bike and hardcore hardtail bike category leader, the Zen. 2012 will be an epic journey for them.

For 2012 Saracen have introduced 3 new models and redesigned both the Mantra and the Ariel framesets. Both models have evolved from testing and feedback received not only from their riders, but magazines, dealers and most importantly their customers. Saracen has placed bikes and frames in some of the best locations within the industry, allowing for this constant feedback of information. Saracen have long term test bikes with magazines and are also working closely with the staff at Mojo suspension to develop improvements for suspension design and production specifications.
