New Bike Brand!? Taken Cycles Encounter Is A Standout MTB - Dissected

It’s awesome to see new and exciting brands emerging during what many would consider to be difficult times in the bike industry. For Taken Cycles, it’s easy to see how they could weather the storm, with the captivating Encounter and its high-pivot CBF suspension with I-Track idler likely to tick the boxes of many aggressive enduro riders. We connected with the Taken Cycles team to learn about how the Encounter came to be, and enjoyed an eye-opening first ride aboard their hard-hitting enduro machine for this Dissected feature. As with all of The Loam Wolf Dissected features, this episode was made in collaboration with Taken Cycles, and as such, should not serve as an official endorsement or review. Instead, the support of Taken Cycles allowed us to deliver this enhanced first look of their new Encounter enduro mountain bike, to give the audience the low-down with the help of the Taken Cycles team and share our initial ride impressions.
