Killer bike for the price. High quality carbon frame with top tier components. No pedal bob with my setup.

I love the bike. It has phenomenal performance and components at a great price. It has excellent cancellation with pedal-bob with the SINE Suspension System, extreme versatility with its different suspension kits, and overall, just an amazing performing and looking machine.

The Alchemy Lycos gravel is fantastic

The Alchemy crew was very helpful and easy to work with in getting my dream bike built - and I love it! Thanks from a very satisfied customer.

Beautiful bikes!! Received mine in September of 2023, came very well packed. I was very impressed with the Alchemy right out of the box, but out on the trail, I could not believe how awesome it was. Perfect free ride bike, but also climbs, very well!

Customer service is lacking....entitled attitude toward legit questions.....at the end of the day the products are nothing special...frames and bike components are produced in China...their job it simply to ship and make it easy for the customer to buy and they suck at that. Going to go back to Yeti.....they get customer service and are on you like a spider monkey when you need help.

The bike is absolutely amazing, and Alchemy made the purchase process as smooth as can be.

The Arktos 150 inspires a lot of confidence. My two finalists were a Pivot Firebird and this. I was extremely comfortable on steep descents with my Pivot Mach 5.5, but the Arktos description of it being more lively sold it for me. The geometry was just bigger, longer and more slack than my 5.5, and tackled steep lines with drops with ease. One of my first days on it, I ended up over the nose on a tight 6' drop. There is no doubt I would have gone over the bars on my 5.5, but with the Arktos I somehow managed to ride it out. It's a beast, and super fun, on technical descents. My only issues, and why I didn't give it five stars are as follows: 1) It came from the factory with a small paint chip on the top tube and was slightly out-of-tune. A few minor adjustments regarding cable tension and the front chain guide was able to mostly fix it. 2) The tires are horrible Maxxis Exo (Maxxis is horrible period), the seat is basic, and the grips are ok. I swapped out the tires to Continental Kryptotals (night and day), the seat to a WTB volt, and the grips to DMR death grips. Lastly, it's not light. But it really wasn't sold as such, so it's not fair for me to ding it for that. It's a decent climber, but not quite as good as I hoped. I could swap out everything else for carbon and xtr for $2500 just to shave a pound, but it's not worth it. The i9 wheelset is amazing, and the xt components are bomber and tried and true. If you're looking for an enduro machine that looks and feels very well-built and instills a ton of confidence at speed on steeps, and you don't mind a little extra effort on the climbs, you can't go wrong.
