"Forbidden Druid V2: The Ultimate High Pivot Trail Slayer"

Forbidden Bike Co. has released the Druid V2, a 130mm travel trail bike that uses an inverted four-bar suspension design with revised kinematics and longer-lasting hardware. The frame can adapt to fit a 29 or 27.5” rear wheel, and meticulous attention to reducing drivetrain drag has been implemented. The geometry has been stretched, and the reach numbers have been updated to a longer, more modern fit. Prices range from $6,199 up to $8,899 USD for the decked-out RockShox / SRAM Eagle Transmission, and a frame kit is available if you prefer to custom build your own Druid.

"Revamped Druid: High Pivot and Tweaked Geometry"

Forbidden has launched the Druid V2, a new version of its 130mm-travel, high-pivot trail bike. The new bike has undergone a fair few changes, with a new frame, tweaked geometry, and suspension kinematics. The Trifecta suspension and One Ride sizing have been carried over from the previous model. The Druid V2 is available in four sizes (S1-S4), all of which feature Forbidden’s One Ride size-specific geometry. The aim of all this is to produce a “trail bike that punches way above bikes with more [travel]”.
