Forbidden Druid V2 GX FX 29 - Spruce Almighty

Brand:Forbidden

Code:FDRUV2GXFX29SA

The New Druid GX FX has arrived. Forbidden have taken the genre-melting race-proven Druid platform and paired it with Sram’s latest GX Transmission and Code Silver Stealth brakes. The GX FX is suspended by the highly tuneable Grip 2 equipped Fox 36 Performance Elite out front and the feature-packed Float X EVOL in the back. This all-star package is rounded out with I9 hubs, Crankbrothers Synthesis Tuned alloy hoops, and Burgetec finishing bits. Available in 29/29 or MX wheel configurations and two colour options.

The Druid is equally at home hammering out trail rides after work, crushing epic alpine traverses, and blasting weekend shuttle laps. A bike that delivers pedal-all-day efficiency when you want it and tech-descent-tackling confidence you need it. A short travel trail bike by definition but a kilometre-crushing, chunder-devouring, fun machine by any other description.

All over the mountain, the more you ask of the Druid, the more you get.

V2 Frame Layout

The second iteration of Druid see a shift to an inverted four-bar suspension design. This evolution was necessitated by our desire to retain the ride characteristics of the original Druid while achieving certain design goals. At the same time, we shed a little bit of weight from the main frame, whilst ensuring the bike still passes our rigorous testing regime.

Hardware

The bearing-in-rocker design of our new forged V2 Rate Control Linkage allows us to use locking collet axles and oversized bearings for easy maintenance and dependability. This option isn’t the lightest but trading a few grams for a long-lasting, easily serviced linkage, was the practical choice

Idler Pulley System

Druid now sports an 18-tooth steel idler equipped with a solid lube bearing as standard. These changes, along with a refined tooth profile increase the idler’s longevity and ensure compatibility with the latest drivetrains. Our new idler, along with its modular mounting system is compatible and optimized for use with both 52mm and 55mm chain lines.

Water Bottle Fitment

Even our smallest Druid frame size can fit a full-size 26oz water bottle, regardless of your rear shock reservoir. Remember, hydration is your friend, but sweaty backs most definitely are not.

Frame Protection

A quiet bike is a fast bike and a clean bike is less prone to problems, so we developed a full suite of custom frame protection to keep the noisy bits quiet and the hard to clean bits free from crud.

Cable Routing

We don’t discriminate against rightys or leftys and our adaptable cable routing allows you to neatly route the Druid’s cables and hoses no matter where in the world you come from or with what hand you operate your rear brake with. New for V2 is the inclusion of clamping hose/cable ports on the rear triangle. This ensures no unwanted movement anywhere along the frame.

Accessory Mount

The ‘under the top tube’ mounting screws allow for the attachment of various accessory mounting solutions; pump, tools, a banana, the kitchen sink, go crazy, just don’t hang a water bottle there.

Sensible Standards

Threaded BB, Boost rear wheel spacing, press in headset cups – we only use what makes sense from a design and durability standpoint. You won’t find any questionable trends here – looking at you headset cable routing..
