Dream Build: Danny Hart's Saracen Ariel LTX
After so many of you loved Danny Hart’s custom downhill rig, we had to get him back on for another Dream Build – and this time with a riding segment!
Dream Build visited Sportline HQ, where Saracen brand manager Jack Geoghegan built Danny a fresh Ariel for some winter shredding.
With the bike done, we took a trip to some of the local trails that the Redcar Rocket grew up riding, blasting fast loamy turns and to finish it off a huge, suspension testing sender!
