Arktos 29 ST
Carbon // 29" // 140MM front // 120MM rear // Starting at $2999
“Incredibly smooth and controlled” bike Magazine USA
The Arktos 29 ST (for short travel) is the younger brother of the Arktos 29, and like younger siblings, it’s shorter, quicker and more playful than its elders. Where the Arktos 29 was designed to crush fast, open, super techy EWS tracks, the Arktos 29 ST is capable of hitting the same bone-tingling descents, but adds a little fun in the mix. It turns quicker and changes directions faster on those tight switchbacks, but still has that slack geometry to keep it stable at speeds. It’s the everyday bike for hitting every track.

What People Are Saying About Alchemy
"As of today, I'm officially a huge fan of Alchemy. The craftsmanship, quality, attention to detail, etc. of their custom bicycle frames seems to just be on another level." -Stephen
“I ordered a Arktos ST and I couldn’t be happier with it. The bike rides great. The fork and shock combination make the bike climb as well as any bike I’ve ridden. Fit and finish are as good as all the top high end brands I’ve looked at.” -Casey
"I have two Arktos’. Just took the new 29 on its maiden ride and I have to say I was more than surprised... it climbs like a goat and goes downhill like that same goat being chase by a lion. Mmmm...wow!" -Brian
