Ariel Arrow Super Sport 250

Introducing the 1962 Ariel Arrow Super Sport 250, a quintessential example of mid-20th century British motorcycle engineering that seamlessly blends style, performance, and versatility. Positioned in the all-round category, this compact bike was designed for riders seeking an exhilarating experience on both city streets and winding country roads. With its iconic lines and bold color options of white and gold, the Arrow Super Sport 250 not only turns heads but also captures the spirit of freedom that motorcycling embodies. At the heart of the Arrow lies a robust twin-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 247 ccm, delivering a spirited 20 horsepower at 6500 RPM. This engine, paired with a 4-speed gearbox, allows the Arrow to reach a top speed of 126 km/h (78.3 mph), making it an agile contender in its class. The impressive compression ratio of 10.0:1 and the efficient Amal carburettor ensure that the bike performs optimally while maintaining a commendable fuel consumption rate of just 3.36 liters per 100 km. This means that not only does the Arrow deliver on power, but it also offers motorcyclists the ability to enjoy long rides without constantly worrying about refueling. The Arrow's engineering excellence is further emphasized by its rigid box-section frame, providing both stability and a lightweight feel. The unique front suspension, featuring a trailing link fork, paired with a rear swing-arm and twin shock absorbers, contributes to a smooth ride over various terrains. The dual 152 mm drum brakes offer reliable stopping power, ensuring that riders can confidently navigate through traffic or take on curvy roads with ease. Additionally, the presence of a kick starter and an aerodynamic windshield showcases Ariel's commitment to practicality and rider comfort. ###
