Alchemy Bikes Avis 186

Alchemy mountain bikes, a small independent gem, redefine adventure on two wheels. Meticulous craftsmanship and unparalleled performance. With a personalized touch and a vibrant biking community, they deliver an unforgettable ride.

The bike has been a great purchase. It's bulletproof and a joy for me to ride. I am an older rider - 70 and I have loved every minute.

Was easy to put together

I originally purchased a 2020 Arktos - it had a great performance to value spec, but slightly antiquated geometry. I was so happy with the overall ride and their strong decision to overhaul the geometry the following year, essentially keeping the the great spec, I purchased another.
My second order was placed as the pandemic was starting to have its affect on supply chains, pricing, etc, and When i placed my order the on-line system froze - when the system came back to life the bike was priced approx. $500 higher than ordered! I called Alchemy support, explained what happened and they gave me the original price without hesitation!
I have also reached out on a couple of occasions with random tech questions and they have not hesitated to offer general and insider knowledge that helped me troubleshoot and optimize my ride.
The suspension system system offers the best of all worlds - enduro, to trail, to bombing - no apparent shortcomings for me - and as a 6'4"/225lb rider I can't appreciate it more!
If it comes time for a new set of wheels, or if I can find the space, Alchemy will definitely be my first look. I am excited to see the directions they take in the years to come!

Would have been 5 star if chain stay etc had allowed for wider tires, at least 2.6. My favorite tire is Maxxis Recon 2.8

Easy transaction from beginning to end , can't wait to get the 140 link

Great customer service
Great bike Top-of-the-line components, and a great price point And the way it was delivered to my house

Great riding bikes with amazing components. Lots of people talk about these bikes as being excellent value for the spec you get. That is true. But they are also amazing bikes to ride, the rear suspension is athletic and plush at the same time. Every other bike I have ridden has been one or the other. The arktos is a great peddler, soaks up the small bumps, AND takes the big hits. Love these bikes.

Amazing bikes! Amazing service! 100% recommend! I love my Arktos so much!

I feel bad leaving this bad of a review because I do think this is a decent bike company. However, changing bearings and linkage every year on the Arktos should not be a thing. We spent way to much money for parts to fail so quick. The real review is from the bike shop who couldn’t believe this bike was so difficult to service and that the wear was so bad for the linkage and bearings. I never had this issue on my last three Santa Cruz bikes.

Super helpful finding the parts I needed and quick delivery.

Just upgraded my old first generation Arktos to the newest Arktos. I loved my old Arktos, but WOW - the new generation Arktos is a dream to ride! From climbing to descending to handling - everything is improved and has me grinning from ear to ear. Couldn't be happier with the level of care and expertise the Alchemy team gave to help find the perfect fit, setup and travel for me. Love my Alchemy bikes!

Absolutely love the bikes! Ended up getting Arktos 135, 150, then the 120. Loved everything about the feel of the 135 for trail riding in rooty, rocky stuff here in New England. Then my wife (God bless her) gave me go ahead to get the 150 to replace cracked frame on my RM Slayer. Then the spring sale had the 120 for too good of a deal to pass up.

All 3 bikes feel very composed for what they are meant to do, and feel like an extension of myself. No regrets, love them all.

Value and customer service also were top notch.

Customer service is unmatched

Everyone at Alchemy is exceptionally friendly and helpful to the Nth degree. There have been numerous instances where they were willing to work with me in ways you'd never get from a "big-name" like Specialized.

Super bike and speedy order processing. 100% satisfied

The bike is beautiful, rides very well. The overall finishing quality is not on par with the price. Lastly, the Artkos comes from Asia, it’s not made in USA.

The 30 day trail was what made me try your bike. I've owned several an some I don't get along with . This bike does everything I ask it to do . I do however wish you put bushings in place of pivot bearings.. Also would like to see more downtube storage (on all bikes ) for tubes,darts,zip ties,ect.It climbs very well and you have me stumped on that one and weighs about the same as my Mojo .Haven't found anything yet on dislikes, the build it's all good...an you also send me a free t-shirt when I had to order an extra hanger to help out with the shipping.Thanks 👍

I love the bike. The buying experience was easy and the price was quite reasonable. Thanks!

This is way overdue. I needed another bike and was talking to my builder and he brought up Alchemy. He said they keep on winning awards. I pulled the trigger on a Ronin (Enve/Axs) it was a lot of $ without ever riding it, or seeing it in person. I cannot tell you how helpful they were through this build. I finally received it, and the first thought of my head was BUTTER. I have never ridden such a smooth, comfortable bike in my life. After putting several thousand miles on it and smiling from ear to ear it was time for me to get a mountain bike obviously the choice was the Arkos. All I can say is WOW. that bike is a confidence builder. It makes you feel young again. Bryce was incredible and so helpful on this and I don’t think he’s even in sales department. So it was time for me to get a bike for my wife and we went with the Atlas. I’ve been that guy that never wants to paint titanium but I we ended up painting her bike. My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw it in person. It’s the most beautiful paint job I’ve ever seen. It was so nice that I had to order the Argos and I had it painted because of the paint quality. It was really refreshing to see a company that is truly there for you, and really takes the time to make it a great experience. Thank you so much alchemy team!!!! Jon

The price of the bike and the specs are awesome

Great bike! I ride a lot and have to say this is the most comfortable bike I have roden. I freaking love the fit and geometry. I used to get lower back pain on my previous bike and never could get it adjusted just right, but I have now put 250+ Miles on the Arktos and have never had my lower back get sore - and I have put a few 30+mile rides in it. Not sure what changed, but the bike is just comfortable and efficient no matter your direction. Love it!!!
