First Look: The Forbidden Reya is Not Your Ordinary XC Bike
Do you guys think this is a decent competitor to the Ripley SL? I know that holds 2 bottles but I don't really care about that. With a Select+ the Forbidden frame is 0.8 lbs heavier than the Ripley SL. Similar wheelbase on an M or XM and same with other geo.
Everyone and their granny is on an Ibis here. Just prefer smaller brands but I'll still demo a Ripley SL when they become more widely available.

Video: Rhys Verner Shreds the All-New (Non-High-Pivot) Forbidden Reya
This is crazy, I live in Bellingham and have still not ridden so many trails in a 150 mile radius, or even heard of this island. What an amazing problem to have.

First Ride: 2026 Evil Offering - More Travel, Updated Geo, & No SuperBoost
@mprett1: Pivot have done this with the new Firebird and people still complained that the settings in the long mode were not long enough. So there really is no winning.

Glad they updated the geo to be suitable for the world's best PNW and Squamish riding instead of the bland to terrible trails in the rest of the US
