Forbidden Druid V3 29″ Brewed for Trail Sorcery

The Forbidden Druid V3 is not your average trail bikeits a 130mm travel carbon-crafted conjuration of high-pivot wizardry. Fully refined from the original, the V3 turns Forbiddens proven Trifecta suspension into an even sharper tool, offering more grip, better progression, and the kind of composure that makes you question if its really just a 130mm bike.

With a slacker head angle, lengthened geometry, and size-specific rear ends, the Druid V3 is more stable, more playful, and even more confidence-inspiring than its predecessor. Its the perfect brew for aggressive trail riders who want the snap of short travel with the control of something much, much bigger. With updated frame protection, improved hardware, and SRAMs Transmission drivetrain compatibility, this version is built to shred quietly, efficiently, and relentlessly.
