Expirience with the Forbidden Druid X0 AXS Mullet

Ludwig Döhl 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 Mullet 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. With a flat 65 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. In the price range of above 8000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Forbidden Fully. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face.
