Forbidden Druid LitE 3 Full Suspension E-Mountain Bike

Trifecta V3 Platform

The latest iteration of our Trifecta platform elevates the spellbinding ride characteristics you expect from a Forbidden to a new level. We’ve fine-tuned the rearward axle path, idler position, and kinematics (the holy trinity of ride characteristics) to deliver the best e-MTB we’ve ever ridden.  The new platform also gives us more seat post insertion and allows us to neatly package the motor and battery.

Avinox Drive System

A 2.52 kg (5.5 lbs) package that delivers 105 Nm of max continuous torque (120 Nm on boost), 800 W peak power (1,000 W on boost), and the ability to run 600 Wh (2.87 kg / 6.33 lbs) or 800 Wh (3.74 kg / 8.25 lbs) batteries. The batteries are lightweight and compact, which helps to keep overall bike weight low. They boast ultra-high energy density and large capacity, facilitating extended range and optimal power delivery.

Touch Screen and Controls

Druid E features a 2-inch OLED full-colour Control Display as the interactive hub, enabling connectivity between the Avinox Drive Unit and your mobile device via the Avinox app. Tuneable assist modes, wireless handlebar controls, and an intuitive app set the Avinox system apart from the rest.

AXS Extension Cord Compatible

Druid E builds that are specced with AXS transmission come equipped with SRAM’s AXS Extension Cord. The SRAM AXS Extension Cord connects the AXS transmission to the bike’s battery, allowing you to power the drivetrain directly without the use of an AXS battery.

Carbon Rocker Link

The Trifecta V3 platform features a carbon rocker link. The carbon rocker link is light, stiff, reduces unsprung mass, isolates the shock from lateral forces, and gives the bike the right amount of progressivity. 8 x 30 mm bearing hardware, top and bottom, comes as standard on all shocks.

Idler Pulley

Druid E sports our e-bike-specific 18-tooth steel idler equipped with two Enduro solid lube bearings. These changes, along with a refined tooth profile, increase the idler’s longevity while ensuring compatibility with the latest drivetrains.

Custom Frame Protection

We developed a full complement of custom frame protection for Druid E. Chainstay, seatstay, downtube, and motor cover protection have all been developed and designed in-house specifically for this bike.

Waterbottle Fitment

Even our smallest Druid E frame size can fit a full-size 26oz water bottle, regardless of your rear shock reservoir. Remember, hydration is your friend, but sweaty backs most definitely are not.
