Forbidden Druid GX RS S+ (S3, Dr. Greenthumb, 29 CB Alloy)

The Druid is a high-pivot trail bike that impresses with its versatility. It strikes a perfect balance between playfulness and ruggedness, making it an excellent choice for long day rides. The Druid’s exceptional performance is achieved through its Trifecta suspension system, top-quality RockShox components, and a SRAM T-Type drivetrain. Additionally, it features One Ride Proportional Geometry, allowing riders of all sizes to fully experience what makes the Druid so special.

Trifecta Suspension System

High Pivot: The Druid's high pivot point creates an entirely rearward axle path during travel helping the rear end move with any impact you encounter. Another benefit of this lengthening is that it adds stability during big impacts and big compressions, creating a unique ride that is playful high in the travel but stable when things get testy.

Anti-rise characteristics in the suspension system prevents fork dive while heavily braking. This also helps the bike to maintain stability when the going gets tough.

Rate Control Linkage: Forbidden uses a finely tuned linkage system that progressively manipulates the leverage rate the deeper the suspension compresses. This linkage is designed to be plush at the beginning, balanced during mid-stroke, and to have enough bottom-out resistance at the end of the stroke for bigger hits and huge landings.

Idler Position: The position of the idler pulley was carefully considered to fine tune the anti-squat characteristics with no pedal kickback. This means you can leave the suspension open during techy climbs.
