Forbidden has released the second generation of its short-travel, high-pivot, hard-hitting Druid. The new frame sees a number of updates to a bike that we already considered to be one of the best trail bikes around.
Forbidden was one of the neo-high-pivot pioneers with their Trifecta suspension system and idler chain system. While other brands have caught on and added idlers and moved pivots upwards on their own bikes, Forbidden's Druid still stands out as one of the very few trail bikes to feature a high-pivot system.
