Forbidden Druid SLX - High Pivot Witchcraft

Packing a punch in all the right places with a spec that leaves no stone unturned, the Druid SLX sports the same all-carbon high pivot chassis found on every other Druid, but in a more wallet-friendly configuration. Forbidden's ‘One Ride’ geometry philosophy sees the Druid’s ‘actual’ seat tube angle increase per size alongside stack height, and both front and rear centres, keeping you centred, balanced and ready for anything. Such readiness will be more than welcome with a suspension system that eliminates unwanted drivetrain forces, allowing you to tackle trails you’ve previously avoided. With 150mm travel in the front and 130mm in the rear, the Druid SLX won’t waste any time establishing what it can do, leaving you to rethink what you once thought impossible on a trail bike.

This corner slaying, square-edge hit destroying hooligan of a bike will transform the way you ride your local trails forever. Applying proven tech from the World Cup DH circuit to a short-travel trail bike for whom the rules simply don’t apply. With a penchant for popping gaps you didn’t know were there and finding the flow that resides between rock, root, and rut, the Druid is ready for whatever you throw at it.

HIGH PIVOT

The most obvious feature of the Trifecta suspension system is the high pivot point and the resulting rearward axle path it produces. Unlike some other frame designs that talk of a rearward portion of their axle path, the height of Forbidden's main pivot within the frame structure means the axle path takes a completely rearward trajectory throughout its travel. This rearward motion allows the rear wheel to move with, not against, any size of impact. This, in turn, allows the bike to remain composed and maintain momentum through rough terrain.

The lengthening of the rear-center during compression also exhibits the advantageous trait of stabilizing the chassis during bigger impacts and compressions. Imagine a weight bias that is playful when high in the travel, but inherently more composed when you need it the most; that’s what a high pivot can bring to your trail riding experience.

Key Features:
  • Carbon Frame
  • 29" Wheels (MX Ziggy Link Compatible)
  • 150mm front & 130mm rear travel
