I've been riding the original X for a little over 2 years. The frame alone is worth the price and the customer service is top notch from them. I did upgrade my brakes to hydraulic and switch the microshift 1x to a shimano 2x for more range. I've put over 1500 miles on gravel roads, everything from dirt/grass to fist size rocks. Also, I did switch to a carbon wheelset and went tubeless. I'd buy another Poseidon in a heart beat.

I got an Ozark Trail GR1. It had a tiny scratch on it and they discounted it to $210 for me when I asked. Didn’t ride the bike at all and ended up returning it. It just didn’t give that visceral feeling that my other bikes give me. Also, it felt slightly small for me, even though I could have gotten a different stem and it would have probably been fine. The Poseidons have always interested me though.

Great conversation and review of the Poseidon. I’ve been eyeing it up. Thanks for going over the Walmart bike too. That’s a decent bike especially for the money. There is an active community for the Ozark Trail G1 for upgrades and support. Good to see that type of thing in the bike community. Thanks for sharing!

I have the orginal poseidon x before the ambition. Awesome bike i love it. I did swap the brakes on mine and i have the dropbar version. I'm glad you did the comparison to Ozarka trail bike because i was curious how the two stacked up against each other. Great video. Poseidon also has a mountain bike called Norton hope you get one to share your thoughts and comparison.

Don’t bother with that Ozark g1. Weighs a ton and shifting is bottom of the barrel alibaba. Also calls for compression less brake housing and a bypass of final zip tie mount for rear housing leading up to the brake caliper as it puts a sharp bend on cable causing brake levers not to fully retract.

I have the dropbar version and love it. Upgraded to compressionless housing and the braking is much better. Changed the front chainring to a 44 from the 38 and it gave me the little extra on the top end that was much needed for the flatter areas. Overall great bike!

I have the Poseidon X w/ thru axle and I like it, especially for the price. It doesn’t feel as good as my past road/ cyclocross bikes (Felt F75, Felt F55, Felt F65x) but it does the job.

Nice looking bike. I would take the Ozark for a ride also. Might have to look at one next time I'm in Wally World.
