Expirience with the Forbidden DREADNOUGHT GX AXS Mullet

Ludwig Döhl Even though the DREADNOUGHT GX AXS Mullet only has 154 millimeters of travel in the rear, it hovers somewhere in the spheres between enduro and downhill. The hip high-pivot rear end, the low center of gravity and the flat geometry make one thing clear: nice tours bore this bike. The Enduro from Canada wants trail shredding. Crass trails! The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Forbidden DREADNOUGHT GX AXS Mullet has a sporty seating position. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Forbidden engineers. For 8599 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential.
