Common Questions*
Do you offer financing?
Yes, at checkout there are several options available for financing.
Who is this bike for?
Riders of hardtail mountain bikes, like the Wasatch Peak, might be newcomers to the sport looking for a more affordable entry point that still offers plenty of capabilities for off-road adventures. Alternatively, they could be experienced cyclists who enjoy the purity of the ride and the enhanced connection to the trail that a hardtail provides. They appreciate the increased efficiency on climbs and the challenge of using their skills to handle descents and technical sections. For a full carbon hardtail, check out the Solitude.
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.
29er or 27.5+ tires? What’s the difference?
The Wasatch accepts both 29er and 27.5+ tires, making it highly versatile. 29er tires have a larger diameter than 27.5+ tires. In contrast, 29er tires are narrower than 27.5+ tires. In terms of on-trail feel, 29er tires offer a more precise, point-and-shoot feeling and provide better rollover capability over trail obstacles due to their larger diameter. 27.5+ tires have a more playful demeanor and feel more nimble. Their extra width allows for increased plushness and extra traction. This lends to a very confidence-inspiring ride for less experienced riders or someone who prioritizes playful handling.
Can I have the bike set up tubeless? What are the advantages of a tubeless set-up?
Yes! The option to add a tubeless set-up is available at checkout. 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 on the trail.
What is the headset spec?
Top: ZS44; Bottom: ZS56
What is the seat post and seat clamp spec?
Seat Post: 31.6mm diameter. Seat Clamp: 34.9mm diameter.
What derailleur hanger is used on the Wasatch?
An Ari Frame Defense derailleur hanger is used on the Wasatch. A spare can be purchased directly from Ari.
How many water bottles fit inside the frame?
The L and XL sizes can fit two water bottles inside the front triangle. The M and S sizes can fit one water bottle inside the front triangle. All sizes can fit an additional water bottle below the downtube.
Can I run a dropper post? What are the advantages of a dropper post?
Yes! The Wasatch has cable routing for an internally routed dropper post. The option to add a dropper post is available at checkout. The advantages of a dropper post are on-the-fly saddle height adjustment at the push of a button. It allows you to lower the seat when descending for more confidence and control while at the same time allowing you to raise the saddle back up for pedaling sections without ever getting off the bike. It also makes it easier to get on and off the bike since you can lower the saddle before mounting the bike.
What is the bottom bracket spec?
The Wasatch Peak uses a 73mm BSA English thread bottom bracket. Our philosophy is simple, if the bike is intended to be ridden on dirt, it gets a threaded bottom bracket. Threaded bottom brackets are easier to service and maintain.
What are the dropout dimensions and axle spec?
Rear Dropout: 12mm x 148mm spacing, Rear Axle: 174mm length | M12 x 1.75P | 20mm thread length, Front Dropout: 15mm x 110mm spacing, Front Axle: Per fork manufacture.
What is the maximum tire clearance?
Rear Tire: 29in x 2.6in or 27.5in x 2.8in., Front Tire: Per fork manufacturer. (Typically 29in x 2.6in or 27.5in x 2.8in.)
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 Wasatch Peak is Ari’s aluminum cross-country hardtail. It uses a 68-degree head angle, a 75-degree seat angle, and 29er or 27.5+ wheels for riders who want a versatile, value-focused hardtail. Complete bikes start at $1,499 for the Wasatch Peak Comp Race build.
How does Wasatch Peak compare to other Ari bikes?
Wasatch Peak is Ari’s aluminum XC hardtail. Cascade Peak is the aluminum full-suspension trail bike if you want rear travel. Signal Peak is the carbon cross-country option. See Cascade 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 $1,499 for the Wasatch Peak Comp Race 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.
