Customer service was fantastic, Adam
Customer service was fantastic, Adam was so helpful. Delivery was pretty quick considering the bike was built to order. The website was easy to use and ordering was simple. My son was very happy with his purchase, especially at the discounted price. Thank you :)

Sarasen Mysti
Excellent price for the Mysti, bike arrived quickly and was well packaged, pretty much set up to go, just pop handle bars in and add the pedals. I woukd have liked an email from the company to say the bike was ready for shipping and naming the comoant used, rather than just one from the shipping company as I nearly deleted it without reading as I didn't recognise where it had came from. Overall very pleased with the bike.

Great Service, Great Products, Great Value, Only slight issue with the website
Saracen have been great over the last couple of years where I have been buying and contacting them directly. (Previous to the change to a "direct to consumer" model, I used to deal with various local bike shops). I have had a number of Saracen bikes over the years, as well as bikes from other brands, since 2018 I have bought a Saracen in every model year bikes were released, apart from 2020. I did have my concerns in 2021, when Saracen had switched to a direct consumer model, that this would lead to poorer service and poorer value, in fact, service has been better and the value is still great. I bought a Saracen Ariel 50E Pro direct in 2021, a bike I still have. After a few months I had an issue with the rear wheel hub, which upon contacting Saracen had organised the local bike shop to repair the issue. I purchased the bike as it was the right bike, at the right time, at the right price and in stock. I recently bought a Saracen Ariel 60 Elite, which upon first ride I absolutely love. I did want to buy a full bike in 2022 which unfortunately was not possible, which led me to buying a bike from another brand. (The service from the other brand was good but the bike was disappointing). Although the people at Saracen are an absolute joy to deal with and they provide some excellent products, the website and order process hasn't been the best (and the reason for not assigning 5 stars). In 2021 the spec sheet for the Ariel 50E were incorrect, leading to the wrong frame bearings being purchased in advance of dismantling. On my recent order, I firstly ordered using the wrong payment type, which seems odd but there are multiple finance options from multiple providers and this wasn't very clear. (Leading to an unwarranted search on my credit report). The order status isn't very informative or granular, not usually an issue but led me recently to wait a few weeks before enquiring what had happened to my order. (Accidently canceled, for which some of the confusion was partly...

Very easy order process, bike
Very easy order process, bike arrived within timescale quoted by a specialist two man delivery firm. To be honest packaging could have been better but bike arrived in perfect condition and fully set up (apart for twisting handlebars)

Delivery system issues, messages to
Delivery system issues, messages to confirm delivery and time slot when bike still sitting in a warehouse because it would not fit in their van. Delivery company unhelpful when chasing up where and when bike delivery would take place. Saracen customer services re-arranged delivery-very helpful after e-mail/call and waiting for a reply. First run on bike lasted until down change on gears with chain straight into spokes and jammed solid. Bike carried to local bike shop who took wheel off/chain dislodged and reset gearshift stop screws. Not a great start.

Absolutely bang on!
Bike arrived completely built and intact. Communication with saracen was spot on. No issues with bike. Courier company not exactly the "white glove" delivery serviced as advertised. Will be ordering my next bike from saracen. 100 percent.

If you order from here
If you order from here your delivery may come from freewheel.. package of full bike was okay (there was a massive boot inprint In the box that the delivery guys said come like that when they picked up) Bike is beautiful however I did notice disc break rubbing on pads ever so slightly fresh out the box.. warranty at saracen contacted and i was helped by the team In booking in the bike for a expert look/fix as I am a complete noob.. I was given 2 local options but I went with halfords they checked over the bike and all was good after the correct torque on brakes.. saracen did refund/gift compensation for inconvenience for the freewheel website.. happy with saracen overall and I'm sure you will be on your new bike

Nice bike, but the build was not great.
Mantra Trail LSL arrived with minor scratches to frame, dropper post cable incorrectly routed causing fouling of non-drive crank arm and left hand brake lever cable marked by pliers jaws. I re-routed the dropper post cable through the chain stay gap behind the seat tube. I'm leaving the brake hose, its not leaking, but I notice it every ride, so it grates. The scratches are really small, but they just make me think that the bike was not treated well during assembly. The delivery guys were fine, and the box it arrived in was undamaged.

Very easy to deal with. All the web stuff worked flawlessly and a couple of queries I had where answered quickly over the phone. Bike was sent quickly, needed a little more than just the bars putting on but nothing a competent person couldn't do.
