2023 Forbidden Dreadnought or 2021 Alchemy Arktos?
Both ride wrapped in good condition. The only issue with Alchemy is the fork has been last serviced back in 2022 (lower only), so the suspension needs some love.
Forbidden frame, shock and fork have about 20 hours in them.

Both seem pretty good for that
Definitely the forbidden. Alchemy is a smaller company thats located hear in my state. Im fairly sure they went out of business without telling anyone, which should give you an idea of the type of bike company they are. They were never really that popular and didnt really produce any noteworthy bikes. Definitely go with the Forbidden, it’ll be easier to re-sell if need be
Forbidden for sure
Forbidden. Parts and dealer support.
Yup, the Forbidden
Forbidden 100%. I had a slightly older Arktos when they were 160/140 and I always felt like I was over the bike and not in the bike. I know the newer models have better geometry but not enough to go back to the company. I also never ridden a Forbidden.
If you’re looking for XL bikes, you can find crazy discounts for brand new bikes in that size.
Check YT, Commencal or any other shop that you can buy online and have it shipped.
At least take a few minutes to look around and compare.
The price at the Forbidden is pretty killer
