Dirt Jumps, Pump Tracks, and Dual Slalom
26" or 27.5" Frames
Optimize your ride for what you find most fun. We would choose the 801 26 for the utmost in nimble flickability on dirt jumps, or the 801 27.5 for extra stability and versatility on pump tracks and dual slalom courses. (It’s still no slouch while jumping!)
Evolved Geometry
Quickly learn new skills and develop a deeper sense of bike control with geometry that supports your progression. The 801 26 hits a sweet spot for tackling dirt jump lines. The 801 27.5 helps riders feel locked in on pump tracks or dual slalom courses.
Strength and Durability
Robust aluminum frame built to take a beating. The 801 is constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for high strength in a lightweight, robust package. We tested the frame to the same impact standards as our Superior Peak DH bike that has survived RedBull Rampage. Ride confidently knowing the 801 is designed to take a beating as you push your personal limits and try new tricks.
Derailleur Compatible
801 27.5 comes with a derailleur hanger and cable routing for a drivetrain. Drivetrain capability provides gear optimization and the ability to shift to an easier gear for climbing back to the start of a dirt jump line or to a harder gear before you drop in.

Common Questions*
Where did the name come from?
801 is a Utah phone number area code we used to name our first dirt jumper that was made of steel. This was in memory of the Geneva Steel Mill that operated from December 1944 to November 2001. It was located just 2 miles from our headquarters and was a local economic driver in the area for years.
How long will it take to arrive?
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.
Who is this bike for?
The 801 is our dirt jumping, slalom racing, pump track slashing bike built to handle air time and flowy berms. What about skills training? The 801 is the perfect bike to improve your technique on whether you are an avid XC enthusiast or enduro racer.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, at checkout there are several options available for financing.
Can the 801 be setup tubeless? What are the advantages of a tubeless setup?
Yes, however many dirt jump riders prefer to run tubes to allow for higher psi. Tubeless valves and sealant may be added to your order under Recommended Accessories in the shopping cart. The advantages of a tubeless set-up are increased flat protection from punctures and the ability to run a lower tire pressure for increased comfort and traction.
What is the maximum tire clearance?
26in x 2.4in or 27.5 x 2.4in. Front Tire: Per fork manufacture. (Typically 29in x 2.6in.)
What is the bottom bracket spec used on the 801?
73mm BSA English Thread.
What about service?
You can work directly with us, one of our recommended shops, or work through your local shop.
What is the guarantee?
It comes with a 30 Day Love it or Return it Guarantee.
How can I know I am getting the right size?
The 801 is a one size fits most bike.
What is the warranty?
Each frame comes with a Lifetime Warranty. Ari branded frames come with a transferable warranty as well.
How does transferable warranty on Ari bikes work?
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.
What kind of bike is this?
The 801 is Ari’s aluminum dirt jumper. It is built for dirt jumps, pump tracks, and dual slalom, with a 6061-T6 frame tested to the same impact standard as Ari’s Superior Peak downhill bike. Complete bikes start at $549 for the 801 26" build.
How does 801 compare to other Ari bikes?
The 801 is Ari’s aluminum dirt jumper for jumps, pump tracks, and dual slalom. Superior Peak is the full downhill and gravity bike if you need a DH chassis. See Superior Peak.
How should I choose a size when buying online?
Use Ari Custom Setup and Ari will fit the bike from your body measurements. There is also a size guide in the bike builder, and the support team can help before you order. Details: Custom Fit.
What does the starting price include?
Complete bikes start at $549 for the 801 26" build. The listed price is the complete bike at that build level; the bike builder shows the selected options, lead time, and any upgrades before checkout.
What assembly is required when the bike arrives?
Bikes ship pre-tuned, test-ridden, and about 95% assembled. Basic at-home assembly remains, and technicians are available for help. See Support.
What do shipping, warranty, and returns actually involve?
Current terms live on the policy pages, not in this summary. Read Shipping, Warranty, Love it or Return it, and Return Policy before you buy. Outlet bikes follow different return rules.
