Forbidden Druid V2 29” – The Wolf in Sheep’s Travel

Don’t let the numbers fool you—the Forbidden Druid V2 may look like your average 130mm trail bike, but it rides like something far more aggressive. This is short travel, high pivot sorcery at its finest. Built around Forbidden’s acclaimed Trifecta suspension system, the Druid V2 delivers insane traction on the climbs, poppy responsiveness on flow trails, and composure through rock gardens that should belong to much longer travel bikes.

With 130mm rear and 150mm front travel, this full-carbon 29er is the ultimate trail/all-mountain shapeshifter. Whether you’re charging all-day epics, sessioning shuttle laps, or railing techy singletrack after work, the Druid handles it all without missing a beat. Light on paper, heavy on performance—this thing is a ride-it-all, rip-it-hard trail machine.

Short travel, long on capability—this is the modern trail bike, evolved.
