Who says an established canine can’t learn new tricks?

We took the modern wolf in sheep’s clothing and gave it a brand-new bag of high-power, high-tech tricks.

Introducing Druid E.  The proportionally sized, full-power e-MTB lineup we’ve all been waiting for. Available in two styles: Druid LitE and Druid CorE. Both equipped with the revolutionary Avinox drive system.  A 2.52 kg (5.5 lbs) package that delivers 100 Nm of max continuous torque (120 Nm on boost), 850 W peak power (1,000 W on boost), the ability to run 600 Wh or 800 Wh batteries, and the fastest charging available on the market.

Finally, a proportionally sized e-MTB that effortlessly shuttles you to the top of any climb and delivers the class-defying descending prowess you know and love from Forbidden’s high-pivot Trifecta suspension platform. A bike you’ll actually love riding down as much as you do on the way up.
