Saracen bikes design and build multiple mountain bikes. Key to the Saracen mountain bikes range are their touring bikes, however they also offer ladies cycles, a kids junior range of bikes, and commuter bikes, as well as cross country, hard tail and full suspension mountain bikes.
Saracen road racing bikes have seen massive success in recent years and they continue to be a main player in the market. Their ranges offer a perfect bike for everyone. The performance is way ahead of the competition in many aspects such as the brand new compact geometry frames with custom butted and fully shaped tubing which are enhanced with carbon forks on the top four models to give a super responsive, featherweight ride.
Their mountain bikes are designed to deliver maximum enjoyment for every mile of trail. Models are lightweight and boast agile frame sets to increase control.
Madison, UK distributors for Shimano, acquired the Saracen brand in April, and they’re intent on resurrecting the Saracen name by designing new bikes and sponsoring top riders. They will be selling the range only through independent bike shops.
The Saracen Ruftrax series is at the core of Saracen’s mountain bike philosophy - they are high performance bikes that are light, lively and totally involving to ride. The Ruftrax range is engineered to be the perfect entry point for serious rough riding.
Key features of the Ruftrax range are as follows:
- Performance 7005 T6 aluminium frame
- SR Suntour M2000 suspension forks with 50mm travel
- Shimano 21 speed gear system with TX50 thumbshifters
- XC-S alloy rims with alloy quick release hubs
- Alloy chainset fitted to a sealed cartridge bottom bracket
Children are well catered for in the Saracen ranges as well. Their junior models are scaled-down versions of the adult bikes having 50mm Suntour forks, Shimano shifting and Saracen-branded grips, stem and bars.
Saracen mountain bikes offer the best value for money British bicycles and have always had a great reputation for affordable quality. Their new range of bikes is great in all respects. There is no other UK make of bicycle available that offers such amazing specifications for such a cheap price!
