Bike Description & Terrain

The updated/upgraded X Ambition. This version of the X will come with Microshift Sword shifters for a cleaner handlebar setup, improved shifting performance, and stronger lever pull. The new X will also include compressionless housing for stronger braking performance. New improvements with the same value and price. 

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! . 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 and completed the build with 700 x 40 Kenda Happy Medium tires for good speed on the road and grip on gravel.

Simple and Unbelievable!

Simply amazing. This bike really just begs for you to explore. The riding is butter, the turning is extremely nimble, and the possibilities nearly endless. The drop bar X’s design is extremely comfortable , the shifting is amazing, and the speed is CRAZY! Once you really get going you absolutely don’t want to stop. Riding this isn’t a workout, it’s an experience like floating on clouds. And the build quality is just the greatest; absolutely NO corners cut, half-jobs, overlooks, NOTHING! The Poseidon crew really put their love and passion into this bike and it shines so bright it might even blind you. The Dropbar X Ambition is a strong welcome for new and old riders looking to dominate or cruise their environment. My only critique is that I can’t rate this bike 10/10 stars! Amazing work!

this much fun should be illegal

I'm no mechanic - actually don't know if my tires are tubeless or how to change one if needed - but the out of box setup was easy and quick. with over 2,000 miles of snow, slush, sand, and slick pavement, to rutted roads, rocky singletrack, and banger gravel, this little adventure seeker may just make a rider out of me
