Druid

The Druid is a modern-day shapeshifter—appearing mild-mannered on paper but revealing its wild side on the trail. Its high-pivot Trifecta suspension platform delivers an unexpected mix of grip, pop, and composure, effortlessly smoothing out rough terrain while keeping the ride lively and responsive. With geometry that strikes a perfect balance between stability and agility, the Druid is a true trail bike at heart. Whether you're hitting post-work laps, weekend shuttle missions, or all-day alpine adventures, it’s ready to roll. While it may look modest in travel numbers, the Druid rides well beyond its category—offering climb-all-day efficiency and descending confidence that inspires you to push harder. It's a short-travel trail bike on paper, but in reality, it’s a terrain-taming, fun-focused machine that refuses to be boxed in.

Shop Thoughts

Don’t let its short travel fool you—the Druid delivers big performance. Its rear end stays glued to the ground, making technical climbs feel surprisingly manageable. With 130mm of travel, the suspension feels far more capable than the numbers suggest—supple, supportive, and seemingly bottomless. If you haven’t experienced a high pivot design yet, you’re in for a treat. True to form, Forbidden builds the Druid with top-tier suspension and powerful brakes, so you’re always in control when the trail gets rowdy.
