Expirience with the Cervelo ZHT 5 GX AXS

Ludwig Döhl Admittedly: I, too, was taken aback when Cervelo unveiled its first mountain bike in the fall of 2022. Until now, the brand had been exclusively involved in road cycling, but its debut for trail use is likely to raise the eyebrows of die-hard mountain bikers as well. Thanks to a moderate 69 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Racebike von Cervelo has a sporty seating position. One thing shouldn't be underestimated: In the uphill, the GX AXS with its overall sporty orientation makes it really hard for on long tours competitors to catch up.
