First Look: The Forbidden Reya is Not Your Ordinary XC Bike

Gotta say… I think they missed the mark here. For ~250g more you can get a Top Fuel you can run with a full WC build and race, or long fork/shock with a 36 SL/55mm shock to 140/130mm and absolutely shred without compromising geometry. Overforking voiding warranty translates to “we made major design compromises”. I’ve ridden 120mm travel bikes extensively throughout BC and Europe and 120mm doesn’t cut it for a do it all down-country bike. I get that at 130mm you’re pretty much riding a Druid-light but still.
