Expirience with the Forbidden Druid X0 AXS

Forbidden Druid X0 AXS Review The Canadians from Forbidden design bikes with exactly one goal in mind. Maximum downhill performance. And so it comes that even the Druid X0 AXS 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 gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The seating position of the in alpine terrain moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. On climbs, other bikes in the above 8000 Euro present a little better performance than the Forbidden. The All Mountain von Forbidden shows what its capable of in the downhill.
