2022 Forbidden Druid (large)

The Forbidden Druid has been an amazing bike for the 1.5 seasons I have ridden it. From smashing through technical jank to high speed flow trails, the Druid takes it all and asks for more. It’s a fantastic climber and is perfect for the broad range of the trails in B.C. despite its 150/130mm travel numbers thanks to the high pivot design.

The bike is RideWrapped so it is in fantastic condition. It has been serviced and cared for regularly. I haven’t ridden the bike since November 2023 and it’s been in storage since then, but has just been serviced in preparation to sell. As for sizing, the bike is a large. I'm 5'10 and the bike fits me perfectly and has a nice amount of reach. For comparison, I am comfortable on size large Santa Cruz’s and size medium Knollys.

For those interested in running a mullet setup, Forbidden sells the Ziggy link which allows you to mount a 27.5” rear wheel. I don’t have a Ziggy link on this bike but I can only imagine how much fun it would make it!

The bike comes pre-installed with Cushcore Pro, and I will also include a brand new Forbidden idler pulley kit and brand new Forbidden chainstay protector.
