I was in the market for a new ride and was looking at several options from the big bike companies and a few select boutique brands. I hadn't heard of Alchemy until this past year, but everything I saw/read indicated that it was a solid company producing great bikes, and it didn't hurt that the company is located right here in the great state of Colorado. I contacted Alchemy to inquire about a demo ride. Joe was super responsive and we locked in a date on the calendar. The Alchemy showroom floor was super clean and adorned with beautiful bikes on display. I took the Arktos out for a test spin on my local trails and found that it performed as impressively as its build spec suggests, and after demo'ing a few other bikes from other manufacturers I knew this was the right bike for me. I can't say enough about the quality, fit and finish of these gorgeous bikes, but make no mistake, they perform just as well as they look. I ended up with the ST variant since it would be better suited for what and how I ride, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Awesome company, awesome bikes, awesome people!
