Bike Description & Terrain

The Gen 2 Flatbar X Ambition will not be back until 2025. If you want it now please consider our Dropbar X Ambition Gen 2 and get the dropbar to flatbar conversion. 

 

Ambition helps motivate us. It helps us strive for more and reach new goals.

The X Ambition is built for more. More miles, more adventures, more smiles! You may know the Poseidon X and the X Ambition is the more improved version. We focused on improved comfort with a more upright riding position and a new saddle design. We increased braking power by adding the same brakes as the Redwood along with compressionless housing and completed the build with 700 x 40 Kenda Happy Medium tires for good speed on the road and grip on gravel.

Fantastic bike… one gripe

I love my flat bar Ambition X. Perfect for my mostly paved with some gravel trails I frequent. Stylish and super light! My only complaint is that the handlebars can’t be raised. For us older folks used to higher handlebars this would be a very nice addition to make this bike perfect for anyone who frequents paved/light gravel trails. More options to add on for nighttime riding would be great too. All around happy with this purchase though!

Top Tier Customer Service

I originally visited Poseidon to purchase my first drop bar road bike. I can into an issue with the XXL being out of stock and needing a bike quickly to start my training for Ragbrai in July.

I reached out to Luis over email and he offered to provide service on a flat bar of my size and color to turn it into the drop bar. Their flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile so I could start my biking journey showed me the level of care they have for their customers.
