The Canadians from Forbidden design bikes with exactly one goal in mind. Maximum downhill performance. And so it comes that even the Druid GX FX with 150 mm_front suspension travel on the fork is given a high-pivot rear end, which is otherwise only known from purebred enduros. The high main pivot point allows the rear wheel to first move to the rear when compressing the rear shock, which should make the characteristics, despite tightly measured 130 millimeters of travel in the rear, particularly smooth even in rough terrain. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the Forbidden Druid GX FX oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. When entering the saddle, the Druid GX FX conveys a balanced seating position. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. For 8599 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential.
