Forbidden Druid v2 GX AXS RS
The latest iteration of the Forbidden genre-melting trail bike has arrived. They have called upon sacred wisdom to deliver a bike that genuinely defies convention.
The Druid is a trail bike through and through.
The new Druid sees a ground-up frame re-imagination reaffirming its position at the top of the trail bike class. Every trait and characteristic you know and love about the existing Druid is at the core of the new version.
It just looks a little different and rides even better.
Druid is the modern wolf in sheep’s clothing. Its high-pivot Trifecta suspension
platform defies logic, simultaneously generating predictable traction and playful pop
while offering a magical ability to devour chunky terrain.
With geometry that effortlessly balances stability and agility, it is equally at home hammering out trail rides after work, crushing epic alpine traverses, and blasting weekend shuttle laps. A bike that delivers pedal-all-day efficiency when you want it and
tech-descent-tackling confidence you need it. A short travel trail bike by definition
but a kilometer-crushing, chunder-devouring, fun machine by any other description.
All over the mountain, the more you ask of the Druid, the more you get.

Evolution, Not Revolution
The new Druid may look a little different than its predecessor but this new iteration is
100% born of the same DNA. This humble(on paper) trail bike boasts on-trail
characteristics that don’t just punch above their class they defy classification
altogether.
So, what's new?
Inverted Four-Bar Layout - See yah later lower guide
The most obvious change to the Druid is the shift to an inverted four-bar suspension
design.
This change was born from our goal to increase chain wrap around the
chainring and eliminate the need for a lower chain guide.
The change in layout was necessary to achieve this goal and retain the ride characteristics Forbidden riders know and love.
