Expirience with the Forbidden DREADNOUGHT X0 AXS

Ludwig Döhl Even though the DREADNOUGHT X0 AXS 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! With a flat 63,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. With the shifting components, Forbidden fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components.
