FORBIDDEN Druid V2 X0 AXS Carbon 29" Mountain Bike

The FORBIDDEN Druid V2 29" carbon mountain bike with SRAM X0 AXS equipment impresses with its clever suspension and high-quality components

The Druid V2 carbon mountain bike from FORBIDDEN in 29-inch design is equipped with an electronic SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission AXS groupset and, with its 150 mm travel at the front and 130 mm at the rear, is ready to go all out with you in the all-mountain sector. The pulley on the seat tube is an eye-catcher and is characteristic of the sophisticated Trifecta chassis design, which is based on a high pivot and allows you to ride at high speed with full control, both downhill and uphill.
The component list reads like a wish list: RockShox suspension elements at Ultimate level swallow the constant shaking on trails as well as hard impacts. The rear derailleur of the X0 Eagle Transmission groupset from SRAM is particularly striking, as it is mounted directly on the rear wheel axle without hanger and thus forms a unit with the cassette for outstanding performance. Carbon rims by crankbrothers, Burgtec components and the Hellbender 70 headset by Cane Creek are impressive and underline that the Druid is made for sustainable riding fun on demanding trails.
Also worth mentioning is the one-ride concept in the development of the geometry: to ensure the same riding pleasure for everyone, the geometry is perfectly balanced for each frame size, especially with regard to weight distribution. The cable routing is internal. The carbon used is high-quality high-modulus full carbon. So that you can enjoy your Druid for a long time, it is designed for durability. For example, the forged bell crank with oversized bearings is designed to be maintenance-friendly. By the way, there is room for a 750 ml drinks bottle in every frame size. At the bottom of the top tube is another screw mount for other accessories, such as a tool bag.

Technology:

Trifecta Suspension
The background to the eye-catching Trifecta Suspension design is the use of a high pivot, i.e. a main pivot point that is not located near the bottom bracket but higher up on the seat tube. This has the advantage that the rear wheel does not move forwards when you compress the suspension, but backwards and thus does not brake your movement, but goes along with it. This also makes the rear triangle a little longer, which increases stability under heavy compression. It allows you to ride faster and more controlled on rough terrain. The finely tuned anti-rise forms a counterpart to the sagging of the fork under heavy braking and ensures consistent chassis stability. The idler pulley with chain guide counteracts pedal kickback and is optimally positioned for efficient pedalling with ideal anti-squat. As far as the transmission ratio is concerned, the Rate Control Linkage bell crank enables separate tuning of the different spring travel ranges by means of relatively small links, i.e. without relying exclusively on strong progression. This way you get adequate support in the middle travel and still don't have to fear hard hits.

One-Ride Geometry
With the aim of offering the same riding experience to everyone regardless of body size or figure, forbidden have developed the One-Ride geometry. This system is characterised by the fact that the weight distribution is adapted to each frame size, which manifests itself in different chainstay lengths for each size, for example. The real seat angles become steeper with frame sizes, which improves the riding position on larger frames, when compared to comparable frames. The head tube length also increases more than usual with each size in order to better cover more unusual body sizes.
