IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE DRIVETRAIN ON THE ARID?
Arid models have been designed around a 1X 40T ring crankset. You can alter the ring tooth size with a maximum 46T or 44T for an oval ring. Arid are not 2X compatible. BB type is T47 (inner bearing) Q-Factor is 150mm and chain line is 47,5mm.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO ALTER THE BAR HEIGHT?
The handlebar height on the four Arid models has 5 or 10mm of adjustment, modifying the position of the steerer tube spacers for a total of 20mm height adjustment.
WHICH ARE THE HANDLEBAR WIDTHS BEING USED?
Arid is equipped with 440mm width handlebars in sizes S and M and 460mm in ML, L and XL sizes. The "flare" or handlebar drop-out is 16mm, making it an ideal option on our Arid for a comfortable position while maintaining good contact with the brake-shift levers.
CAN I INSTALL A DROPPER POST?
Yes, you can install a 27.2mm diameter dropper post.
CAN I PUT A KICKSTAND ON THE ARID?
No, Arid do not feature kickstand specific mount for this matter.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CARRY A TRAILER WITH THE ARID?
No, Arid are not intended to carry or tow any cargo vehicle or trailer.
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM TIRE WIDTH I CAN RUN ON THE ARID?
To guarantee the proper clearance on both fork and frame, maximum recommended width should not exceed 700x50c.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL A SUSPENSION FORK ON ARID?
It is possible to install dedicated suspension forks for gravel bikes with up to 40mm of travel due to the change in geometry. The length of the standard rigid fork is 420mm. A 30mm or 40mm travel suspension like the RockShox Rudy XPLR in 30mm or 40mm (425mm or 435mm axle to crown) can be used. The Fox TC32 model with 40mm of travel can be used, but we do not recommend the 50mm travel option with an axle to crown of 445mm that would excessively modify the geometry. Recommended fork offset is 45mm.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL MUDGUARDS AND TRANSPORT BAGS FOR GRAVEL BIKES?
On Arid models it is possible to fit specific bags for gravel bikes, either attached to the main frame or a bag on the handlebars or a dedicated one on the back under the saddle. In addition, Arid allows up to 6 water bottles to be carried simultaneously, four on the main triangle and two on both sides of the fork. It is also possible to install mudguards as Arid has the necessary mounts for their possible installation.
WHAT THINGS CAN I CARRY INSIDE THE MAIN TUBE OF THE ARID?
Arid models have been designed with a specific storage compartment that we have dubbed Carry-On where, inside, you will find 3 specific and independent storage bags to carry spare inner tubes and tire levers in one of them, CO2 cartridges and/or mini-pump in another one, and multi-tool, tire plugs, chain tool... in the last one. These bags have been specifically designed for this purpose and are included in the original equipment when purchasing any Arid gravel model.
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED RIDER WEIGHT WITH EQUIPMENT ARID MODELS ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT, IN OTHER WORDS, THE SYSTEM WEIGHT (BIKE+RIDER+EQUIPMENT)?
System weight (Bike + rider + total equipment) weight limit is 130 kg.
WHICH SIZE SHOULD I BUY?
Sizes differ from one rider to other. Personal preferences are very unique and how you ride your bike is also important when choosing the correct size. This is a standard size chart you can use as a guideline.
S= 410mm seat tube 1.55 - 1.67
M= 450mm seat tube 1.65 - 1.77
ML=480 seat tube 1.72 – 1.84
L= 510mm seat tube 1.82 - 1.94
XL= 540mm seat tube 1.92 - 2.05
WHICH IS THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SEATPOST INSERTION ON ARID MODELS?
This chart illustrates the measurements for seatpost insertion for either standard or dropper models.
FRAME SIZE | MIN. (mm) | MAX. (mm) |
XL | 100 | 300 |
L | 100 | 280 |
ML | 100 | 240 |
M | 100 | 220 |
S | 100 | 180 |
