Not to be confused with Crash Bandicoot’s large-headed nemesis, Sonder’s range-topping trail ripper, the Cortex GX AXS is a bike that combines solid trail-orientated geometry with ridiculous value for money. While there’s an awful lot to like about the bike and it’ll certainly please a lot of riders, a lack of refinement in a number of areas sadly holds it back from shining in the best full suspension mountain bikes segment Cheap SRAM GX AXS?
Mar 2020 · Guy Kesteven
How good is Sonder’s affordable short travel 29er Cortex trail bike? We got a ton of pre-lockdown miles in - and a bit of component swapping - to find out
Well-balanced, affordable, lightweight trail chassis.
Mostly well-sorted very cost-effective componentry
Cane Creek shock upgrade makes it feel great
Other components switchable on request
Very solid pedal response with the stock shock
Stock shock clatters rather than grips and blows through travel
Wooden rear tyre emphasises lack of shock sensitivity
