Ariel 15x, how robust?

Quite like the look of the ariel 15x frame, especially as there as a few deals around

Size wise it looks spot on, even like the grey on grey… Have seen hereabouts issues with the bushings out the box, which does make me worry about the longevity of them

Anyone been running one a while who can comment?

Rode a 140mm version (same frame I think) for a year through winter too without any problems.
No lateral movement from the back, no squeaks or creaking, smooth action. I’d happily have another.

Can’t help with robustness, but I demoed one a few months back at Glentress and it was awesome fun. I tried it back to back with a Bronson, Blur Tr and Carbon Remedy and it was my favourite by a considerable margin.
