2022 Defender Axial Large (Used)

Selling my Custom Defender Axial, size Large.

Defender is a small brand out of Concord, NC, that makes really fun and fast bikes. Ive done product work with them for a few years and decided to step away from the enduro side. Ive had a few of these Enduro bikes, and this one has been my favorite.

The bike is super fast Downhill and Uphill. It climbs better than most down-country bikes Ive ridden, and its super progressive, making it super planted to the ground all the time. However, this thing can jump pretty well.

Its a slack enduro bike, so the faster you go, the more stable it is. Its like a monster truck running over everything. Its pretty nimble for how big it is, too. I ride a lot of western NC and northern GA (some sketchy stuff, iykyk), so it is plenty capable.

Ive done a few races on it, and it has done great. It pedals super well; I never had to lock the coil out because theres literally no pedal bob.

The frame is solid and runs great. I kept it in perfect working order. It has a few paint chips from normal wear and tear, but nothing huge or ugly.

Ive really had some of my best rides on this enduro in the past year Ive had it. I know the bike inside and out; feel free to ask me questions.
