Full Suspension Showdown: KINGBULL Jumper Go vs. Mokwheel Obsidian

Full Suspension Showdown: KINGBULL Jumper Go vs. Mokwheel Obsidian

When it comes to full suspension electric bikes built for both thrill and utility, two models stand out: the KINGBULL Jumper Go and the Mokwheel Obsidian. Both promise a powerful, smooth ride with premium components—but which one really goes the distance for modern riders? Let's break it down.

Power & Range

Both bikes boast top speeds of up to 28 MPH and range estimates up to 80 miles, making them street-legal in most U.S. cities and capable for both commuting and weekend adventures. However, Jumper Go features a high-capacity Samsung battery rated at 960Wh, compared to the Obsidian's 19.6Ah battery. While both are in the same general range, the Samsung brand name and clear watt-hour listing provide additional assurance to riders focused on battery reliability and lifespan.

Pro Tip: The 960Wh capacity gives you longer, more consistent performance under heavier loads—great for riders carrying gear or riding on varied terrain.

 Motor & Performance

Jumper Go is powered by a 750W BAFANG motor, a brand widely trusted in the e-bike world for its smooth torque and efficiency. While the Obsidian lists a continuous power output of 1000W, it’s worth noting that real-world performance isn’t always about raw numbers—motor quality, heat management, and tuning also play major roles. BAFANG motors are often praised for their balanced output and reliability over time.

Suspension & Ride Comfort

This is where riders can feel the difference. Both bikes offer full suspension, but they take slightly different approaches:

  • Jumper Go comes with a DNM rear air shock (50mm travel) and Zoom front suspension, which is designed for both stability and comfort.

  • The Obsidian features a Pro 50mm mid-mounted air shock and a 130mm suspension fork.

While Obsidian may appear to offer more front travel, the Jumper Go is finely tuned for urban and light off-road versatility—an excellent balance that avoids excessive bounce at high speeds or on paved surfaces.

Frame Design & Customization Options

Mokwheel Obsidian offers more visual and ergonomic customization, with three color options and two frame styles—step-over and step-through—making it easier for riders to match their style and body type.

In contrast, the KINGBULL Jumper Go is available in a step-through frame, making it especially accessible for riders of all heights and mobility levels. While it currently comes in a single, sleek color, its minimalist design and high-end finish appeal to those who prioritize clean lines and refined aesthetics.

Style vs. Simplicity: If you value personalized looks and frame variety, Obsidian delivers. But if you’re after a streamlined, ready-to-ride setup with fewer decisions to make, Jumper Go keeps it simple and elegant.

Practicality & Payload

One of Jumper Go's clear strengths is its practicality:

  • Integrated rear rack included by default—perfect for groceries, gear, or panniers.

  • Payload capacity up to 450 lbs, compared to 350 lbs on the Obsidian.

This makes Jumper Go especially attractive to delivery riders, commuters with cargo, or anyone needing extra capacity without compromising comfort or stability.

Everyday Edge: Obsidian doesn’t include a rear rack, which may require an aftermarket solution. Jumper Go is built with utility in mind—right out of the box.

Real-World Advantage: Higher payload capacity = more flexibility. Whether you're commuting with a laptop and lunch or hitting the trails with a backpack, Jumper Go doesn’t hold you back.

Gearing & Brakes

Both bikes are equipped with Shimano 8-speed drivetrains, offering smooth and predictable gear shifts. On braking, Jumper Go steps up with Tektro 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, which typically provide stronger and more consistent stopping power than the 2-piston setup seen in many competitors.

Tire & Wheel Setup

Jumper Go opts for compact and versatile 20" x 4.0" Kenda tires, ideal for quick acceleration and nimble handling—especially in urban environments or light trails. Meanwhile, Obsidian uses 26" x 4.0" tires, which provide a more traditional mountain bike feel but can be less agile in tight spaces.

Price: The Deal Breaker?

Here’s the clincher:

  • Mokwheel Obsidian: $2,199

  • KINGBULL Jumper Go: $1,999

That’s a $200 difference—enough to cover a helmet, lock, and even a set of panniers. Considering Jumper Go includes a rack and offers higher payload, the value proposition becomes hard to ignore.

Final Thoughts

If you're looking for more customization and classic MTB styling, Obsidian might be for you. But if you want a bike that's ready to go, loaded with utility, and offers better value at a lower price, the KINGBULL Jumper Go stands out—especially for everyday riders who want power, practicality, and peace of mind.

Sometimes, less flash and more function is the smarter ride.
