Forbidden Bike Druid E T1 29/27.5'' 160 mm 12 V Avinox M2S 800 Wh Vitalogy 2027 Bicycle

The Forbidden Bike Druid E T1 stands out as a prestigious Enduro e-MTB, combining Canadian expertise in suspension kinematics with the most powerful electric assistance technologies on the market. Offered in a distinctive color called Vitalogy, this 2027 model features a "Mullet" wheel setup (29-inch front wheel for maximum obstacle clearance and 27.5-inch rear wheel for maintaining responsiveness). The frame is offered here in size S3 (equivalent to a size L), an ideal geometry for riders looking for an excellent balance between high-speed stability and agility in winding sections.

The great strength of this model lies in its high-modulus carbon frame equipped with the exclusive Trifecta V2 kinematics. This system uses a high pivot point: upon impact, the rear wheel moves backward and upward, allowing the bike to absorb obstacles without ever getting bogged down or losing speed. To eliminate the detrimental effects of pedal kickback associated with this architecture, an idler pulley is integrated. Furthermore, the brand's One Ride geometric philosophy adjusts the length of the chainstays proportionally to the size of the front triangle, ensuring perfect balance for the rider, regardless of their build.

In terms of motorization, the Druid E T1 takes a major technological leap by integrating the Avinox M2S ecosystem. This compact motor unit disrupts current standards by delivering an impressive torque of 150 Nm and a peak power of 1300 Watts, enough to tackle the steepest climbs with astonishing ease. The system is powered by a high-density 800 Wh battery perfectly concealed in the down tube. The interface is modern and sleek, relying on a 2-inch OLED screen embedded in the top tube and wireless micro-controls on the handlebar.

The rest of the components are equally impressive, selected from the best available for competition: Fox Factory suspensions with Kashima coating for ultimate sensitivity, SRAM X0 AXS wireless drivetrain mounted directly to the frame, and SRAM Maven Ultimate four-piston brakes offering extraordinary deceleration power. The Crankbrothers carbon wheels have differentiated stiffness to optimize front grip and rear robustness, complemented by reinforced Maxxis tires and a OneUp dropper seat post with a generous 210 mm travel.
