Superior Peak offers versatile performance, with different geometry combinations and kinematic options that allow the bike to be tuned for either stability or playfulness. You'll be ready for anything from chunky lines to massive air.
Engineered for the most extreme conditions, Superior Peak features a robust aluminum alloy frame designed to endure the rigors of gravity riding. Minimal pedal kickback ensures the bike stays responsive and stable across any terrain.
Superior Peak wins. Wins at Proving Grounds, overall series win at the Big Mountain Downhill, Dark Fest Best Trick, and ridden by Kyle Strait at Red Bull Rampage.
Featuring a Boost 148 rear dropout, 200mm post mount, and compatibility with air or coil shocks, the Superior Peak is built to handle the rigors of all-day bike park laps or high-speed race runs. Its ISCG-05 tabs and rubber protectors help fend off rocks and keep chain noise quiet.
In the press
01 / 01
Proven on the cliffs of Red Bull Rampage and between the tape on the World Cup downhill circuit, Ari’s Superior Peak is their burliest platform built for the heaviest lines. It boasts 200mm of rear travel with a 200mm dual-crown fork that can handle anything riders can throw at it.
Frame
5 Different Geometry Settings and 4 Frame Tune Adjustments so you can confidently huck physics-defying lines and massive features.
Geometry Adjustments include:
Chassis
Custom-molded protection quiets chain slap and shields high-impact areas. UDH compatibility simplifies service, while the epoxy-infused finish is made to resist chips and scratches.
Watch
If you're the type of rider who wants to take your bike park laps to the next level, freeride, or race downhill — Superior Peak is for you.

Press reviews
Impressive quality for its price tag and solid on-trail performance to go with it.
The Loam Wolf
An extensive fit process before sending the bike so that it’s ready to rock.
Singletracks
A lot of value without resorting to common cost-cutting measures.

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 Superior 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.
Superior Peak is versatile to suit riders who enjoy any or all of the following: DH Racing, Bike Parks/Shuttling, and Freeriding.
Superior Peak offers versatile performance, with different geometry combinations and kinematic options that allow the bike to be tuned for either stability or playfulness. Superior Peak is ready for anything from chunky lines to massive air.
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.
There are flip chips integrated into the frame at the chainstay/seatstay pivot and seatstay/link pivot. With these chips and dual 29in wheels, there are four geometry positions available. One of the four geometry positions available (Poppy-Flow) is designed to work well with a 27.5in rear wheel giving a fifth possible geometry configuration. You can see these geometry adjustments in real time on our GeoKinematic Configurer.
Each Superior Peak bike and frameset includes two front triangle shock mounts (linear and progressive) that bolt to the front triangle. Switching out the front triangle shock mount will alter the leverage ratio progression of the suspension. Run linear for ultimate bump-eating traction or progressive for bottom-out support on big hits. The bike ships stock with the progressive mount installed (the shorter of the two). The linear mount is included in the accessory box with the bike. You can see these kinematic adjustments in real time on our GeoKinematic Configurer.
A bolt-in brace between the seat stays offers rear triangle stiffness tuning. Superior Peak ships with the brace installed for increased stiffness for aggressive riding, but it can be fully removed to increase rear triangle flex for utmost traction in loose conditions.
The Ari direct mount DH stem has two mounting positions available providing either a 45mm or 50mm length to tune your bike’s steering characteristics and front wheel weighting. Simply remove the 4 mounting bolts, slide the stem forward or backward and reinstall the bolts to adjust the length.
The Superior Peak was designed to run both air and coil shocks. The dimensions of the shock are 250mm eye-to-eye and 75mm stroke. We recommend starting with the progressive front triangle shock mount when using a coil shock or large volume air shock (ex. Vivid, X2, etc.) and the linear mount with a smaller volume air shock (ex. Super Deluxe, TriAir2, etc.)
The Superior Peak comes stock with the MRP SXG chain guide/bash guard combo. It is adjustable for 32-36T chainrings. The frame has ISCG-05 tabs, so other options can be mounted as well.
Rear Tire: 29in x 2.5in or 27.5in x 2.6in. Front Tire: Per fork manufacturer. (Typically 29in x 2.6in.)
The option to add a tubeless setup is available at checkout. The advantages of a tubeless setup are increased flat protection from punctures and the ability to run a lower tire pressure for increased control and traction on the trail.
The SRAM Full Mount Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) is used on the Superior Peak.

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.
