Saracen Kili Flyer 121 Mountain Bike 2015 - Full Suspension MTB
The Saracen Kili Flyer 121 full suspension mountain bike is ready to hit the trails. More capable than the 120mm travel suggests this MTB is great fun to ride and snappy under power when compared to longer travel bikes.
A well designed frame with trail geometry makes best use of all the available travel. It doesn’t blow through travel too quickly so is capable on technical terrain. The Kili Flyer is a competent climber but is most at home when pinning through technical descents. You get great spec for the money.
If you want a playful bike with a dialed geometry and simple but efficient suspension system, and you enjoy the descents more than the climbs, the Kili is for you.

Frame
At the core of the frame is a custom butted 6013 aluminium frame for strength and stiffness without a weight sacrifice.
Geometry makes for a fun trail bike with a slack head angle for stability at speed. The Kili is long and low for great handling at speed.
Upfront a tapered head tube increases stiffness for precision cornering for when the section gets technical. A 15mm bolt through axle on the fork also improves stiffness at the front. There is also internal routing for a stealth dropper post upgrade.
Suspension
You get an X-Fusion Velvet fork which may not have the kudos of a Fox or Rock Shox name, but don’t be put off. This very competent fork is smooth through all its 120mm travel and is stiff enough for precise cornering. The X-Fusion comes with lockout for efficiency on long smooth climbs.
At the rear is the Fox Float CTD shock with Climb, Trail and Descend compression damping modes. This means you can set the suspension to match the section of trail you’re riding.
The Saracen Kili Flyer has a single pivot design with a linkage actuated suspension system. Tuned Ride Link (TRL) is stiffer than a conventional single pivot. It allows for better control of the shock leverage ratio as the bike move through its travel. The whole system runs on big 30mm pivot bearings for long lasting performance.
Components
Equipped is a Shimano Deore 3x10 speed drivetrain with reliable gear shifting and a wide range of gears to play with. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are equally as reliable as you’d expect from the Japanese brand. This is a solid trail mountain bike setup.
The Kili Flyer is designed specifically to fit 650b (27.5”) wheels which are highly regarded for their nimbleness whilst being able to roll well over rough terrain.
