At Forbidden, you might expect a long-travel bike with a high pivot point - but there are much more alternatives: two titanium hardtails that blur the boundaries. They can be set up as an aggressive hardtail and, with a counterpart, can be used as a retro, gravel or touring bike.

On June 28 and 29, the Bellwald Bike Park and Rodeo Bike will be hosting the legendary Riding High Festival. The bike park will be fully open, the hottest brands will be bringing their test bikes and raclette, barbecue, cold beer and a party will be provided.

The company's own Amflow e-mountain bike was just the beginning: drone specialist DJI is cooperating with bike manufacturers for its Avinox motor system - the first round involves the brands Unno, Forbidden and Megamo. The result is e-mountain bikes that benefit from the powerful drive with a small installation space and stand out with their own unique look.

Forbidden has created a unique bike with the Druid: The 150 millimeter front and 130 millimeter rear travel combination is rather rare, and the rear suspension with High Pivot chain routing looks really tidy. Of course, that's not all there is to this machine, and Emmy Lan shows what is possible and feasible on the Druid.
