1939 Ariel Red Hunter motorcycle

Cover: Designed in 1925 by famed engineer Val Page and later updated by Edward Turner, the 500-cc overhead valve Ariel Red Hunter was a popular model for many years. The success of the Red Hunters, along with a few other factors, put Ariel in the position to later purchase Triumph in 1935. Turner was promoted to chief designer and general manager for the Triumph side of the business and he went on to create many exciting new models in the Coventry factory. Our cover bike is a great looking example of the machine that played such an important role in motorcycle history.
