Combining the high pivot suspension that has made Forbidden bikes the force they are on the world cup race circuit and THE in demand E-Bike motor in the DJI Avinox, the Druid CorE is everything you might want from a modern hard riding E-Bike.
Light and compact, the Avinox motor still punches out a huge 110Nm of torque and 800W of sustained power, with even more available in Boost mode and with an 800W battery on board it has the range to back up the power.
Built to go as hard as you can, the CorE model bikes combine a Zeb fork and Vivid Air shock to deliver 160/150mm of travel, which coupled to Forbidden's high pivot layout and a mixed wheel setup makes for a very formidable bike indeed. The rest of the build kit is specced to keep up with that punishment with Maven Ultimate brakes, an XO AXS T-Type drivetrain and light but tough Crank Brothers carbon wheels. You might think all that power and capability would add up to a heavy bike, but you'd be wrong, with the CorE weighing in at just over 22.5kg.
Climb anything and descend as fast you dare, the Forbidden CorE is more than up for it all.
