The fork on these first generation Ariel Rider X-Class bikes are known to be faulty. Let’s find out if they can at least handle some easy stairs, mild skatepark action and maybe even a few downhill blasts! Ariel Rider is sending out a replacement fork to all of the first edition X-Class owners, how nice! Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe and have a great day!

I ,too have an O.G. long seat X-Class in Blue,and I had just accepted that at the price I would not get very high quality suspension components...so I was pleasantly surprised that in this day and age Ariel Rider reached out and is sending a new fork and headlight...well I already was so pleased with my X that I have ordered a New 52V in red,with the upgrades another bargain and good to do business with a business that gives good value

Good stuff. Thanks for the laugh. Did you swap out the rear shock ever?

what were the rear shocks like on the 1st gens? do they have the ridiculous 1000lb spring?

Anyone know of a replacement set we can get for these. I want to upgrade.

Does anybody know the size of the forks?

You ever find out? Can't find info on upgrading the front suspension, just the rear.

The front forks on my x class ,do not seem safe, there is only a spring in one side of the forks. So the front forks are like a Pogo stick. Ariel Ryder needs to do better, are these the forks they are replacing?

Think it's supposed to be like that, many fork suspensions have spring in one side, dampener in other. That said the stock forks SUCK. Did you ever try to upgrade the spring or swap the forks?
