All Mountains, Any Adventure
142mm rear suspension and 150mm front suspension coupled with Delano Peak’s award-winning frame geometry are the perfect recipe for a perfect day on the trails.
Our unique carbon layup process cuts excess waste by 30% while still increasing strength and reducing weight, making our bikes both lighter and more environmentally friendly.
Snappy and energetic when you’re pedaling or pumping through rollers, yet composed and confident when the trail gets rough. It pops off rocks and roots with ease, then progressively soaks up bumps and landings to keep you centered and in control on every ride.
Clean-catch internal cable routing keeps everything tidy and rattle-free, giving you a truly silent ride even over the roughest terrain. A rubberized chainstay protector and downtube guard add extra defense against rock strikes and chain slap, ensuring your bike stays protected and quiet mile after mile.
In the press

Ari’s bespoke all-mountain option, the Delano Peak, is engineered to balance hard-hitting downhill stability with a responsive, playful, and efficient nature. With a frame built from Ari’s unique CleanCast Carbon layup, it made Mountain Bike Action’s 2025 trail-bike roundup.
The ARI Delano Peak won the award for Best Value Trail Bike in 2025 and has easily been one of our favorite trail bikes we have had a chance to test.
The Delano Peak climbs really well and is very capable across a wide variety of terrain downhill which is perfect for me. We travel a lot and I don’t like to switch my bike setups too much after I get comfortable on one.
Ari dropped their Delano Peak in July giving riders an option between their other two full-carbon, full-suspension MTBs. In between the Signal Peak and the La Sal Peak, the Delano has 135mm of rear travel with a 150mm fork.
To be fair, with the absence of launch events to ride new bikes, I haven’t been on enough new mountain bikes to definitively claim a best bike of the year. Tyler Benedict still gave the Ari Delano Peak an honorable mention among the mountain bikes in his 2020 Editor’s Choice awards.
Ari’s Delano Peak Comp is a well spec’d bike for the price, and like the other full-suspension bikes nominated, it offers a lot of versatility. Pinkbike nominated it for 2020 Value Mountain Bike of the Year.
Frame
Perfect balance of climbing and descending. Your go-to bike for most rides.

Tech support
Specs and setup for your first ride and beyond. Every bike comes with support from our team in Utah.
Remove packaging foam and zip-ties. Confirm the small-parts box has pedals, thru-axle and multitool.
Center the bar, set roll, and tighten faceplate bolts evenly in a cross pattern.
Seat the rotor between the pads, insert the thru-axle from the non-drive side and close to spec.
With the dropper fully extended, set height so your knee is slightly bent at the bottom of the stroke.
Grease threads. The left pedal is reverse-threaded.
Set sag for your weight using your fork and shock manuals, then check tire pressure against the sidewall range.
Frame and Ari-supplied hardware. Numbers match the diagram.

Hangers, bearings, shock hardware, and the rest of the replacement parts for the Delano Peak are listed on the support page, with current stock.

Still deciding? Our team rides these bikes and can help you find the right setup.
This individual seeks a versatile bike that can handle steep climbs, technical descents, and everything in between. They are likely passionate about exploring the outdoors and pushing their limits on various trails, from rocky paths to forested singletracks.
Yes, at checkout there are several options available for financing.
Estimated lead times are listed under each model's size in the bike builder. Times may vary a little based on current conditions, frame size, color, and availability.
Medium, Large and XL frames can accommodate two 21 oz. water bottles inside the front triangle; one on the down tube, and one on the seat tube. Small frames allow for the versatility of placing a water bottle on the down tube or seat tube mounts and using the other mount for tools. All sizes can have an optional third bottle mounted on the underside of the downtube. Longer bolts need to be used to accommodate the bottle cage with the down tube guard installed.
Every frame size has a 300mm insertion depth. This will fit almost every size dropper post. The exact dropper post length installed will depend on several factors including: rider inseam, crank arm length, stack height of the dropper post seat clamp, stack height of the bushing collar of the dropper post, and seat height. As part of our 23-Point Custom Setup™, we ensure that each rider’s bike comes custom set up with the longest possible dropper post that will fit you so that you have the most comfortable and confident ride in every situation.
73mm English thread. Our philosophy is simple: if the bike is intended to be ridden in the dirt, it gets a threaded bottom bracket. Threaded bottom brackets are easier to service.
The Delano features the all-new SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH). We chose this derailleur hanger for simplicity, reliability, and performance. In the event of an impact to your rear derailleur, the derailleur hanger will bend away and help protect the frame and derailleur from irreparable damage. The UDH can be purchased directly from aribikes.com.
The frame will clear 29 x 2.6 or 27.5 x 2.8 tires. Tire clearance around the fork is defined by the fork manufacturer, but typically 29 x 2.6 or 27.5 x 2.8 will fit.

The cables are routed internally through ports on the side of the headtube and inside the downtube providing clean, simple routing.

All Ari bikes go through our Custom Setup process, making sure the bike is fit and tuned specifically to you. They are test-ridden before delivery. If your bike is shipped to you, it’s still tuned and ready to ride and requires just a few minutes of assembly.
You can work directly with us, one of our recommended shops, or work through your local shop.
Each frame comes with a Lifetime Warranty. Ari-branded frames come with a transferable warranty as well.
It comes with a 30-Day Love It or Return It Guarantee.
Ari-branded frames come with a transferable frame warranty available to the second owner. The second owner can receive a one-year frame warranty from the date they purchase the bike from the original owner. Warranty only transfers once. All Ari bikes must have the transfer documented from the original owner to the new owner here in order to qualify for a transferable warranty.
