Common Questions*
Do you offer financing?
Yes, at checkout there are several options available for financing.
Who is Suncrest for?
Suncrest is an ultra-light performance road bike designed for riders who love the climb and the pure joy of experiencing the ride.
How does Suncrest handle?
The Suncrest is light and lively, tuned for a supple and comfortable ride. Built for those who love the pure joy of road cycling.
What sizes is the Suncrest offered in?
5 sizes—XS, S, M, L, and XL. Our 23-Point Custom Setup uses your measurements to help determine your frame size and component setup to fit your Suncrest to you. Also, with geometry specific sizing, you can be assured that you will get the exact fit and intended performance on any size of Suncrest.
How many water bottles can it hold?
Two inside the front triangle on every size.
What type of derailleur hanger is used?
A custom Ari Road Derailleur Hanger (ARDH) is utilized on the frame. It is optimized for road rear derailleurs. A spare ARDH can be purchased from Ari. Alternatively, a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) can be used with cassettes that have largest cogs of 28T or greater.
What is the bottom bracket?
English Threaded
What is the frame weight?
As light as 656 grams - small frame, raw carbon
What is the maximum tire clearance?
We gave Suncrest the ability to run up to 35mm tires to tune the ride to your style and terrain. It’s more than a light weight bike. Nothing can hold you back when you see a road that interests you, or see a shortcut (or longcut) you’ve never ridden before. Go boldly and bravely.
What drivetrains are compatible with the Suncrest?
Suncrest is compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrains. All mechanical drivetrains are compatible. For electronic drivetrains, SRAM eTap and AXS drivetrains as well as Shimano Di2 drivetrains are compatible.
What are the headset dimensions?
The Standardized Headset Identification System (SHIS) is IS52 / 28.6 | IS52 / 40(45°). This is used with the 1.5”/1.5” headtube. We have chosen to use the FSA SRS headsets for simple, clean cable management. FSA ACR is also compatible if the matching stem is also used in conjunction with the custom Ari upper bearing cap.
What are the front and rear axle dimensions?
The front axle is M12x118mmxP1.5. Rear: M12x168mmxP1.0.
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 will it arrive?
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.
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 Suncrest is Ari’s lightweight carbon road bike. It uses a sub-700g frame and up to 35mm tire clearance for riders who want a fast everyday road bike that still handles rough tarmac. Complete bikes start at $2,599 for the Suncrest SL Comp build.
How does Suncrest compare to other Ari bikes?
Suncrest is Ari’s lightweight carbon road bike (sub-700g frame, up to 35mm tires). Empire is the carbon endurance road bike with more comfort and up to 32c tires. Veyo is the UCI-certified performance road bike. See Empire.
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 $2,599 for the Suncrest SL Comp 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.
