Description

The Forbidden Druid E is the electrified evolution of Forbidden's legendary high-pivot trail platform — and it's been worth the wait. Built from the ground up as a full-power e-MTB, the Druid E combines Forbidden's signature Trifecta V3 suspension with the advanced Avinox drive system to deliver a bike that climbs effortlessly and descends with the same class-defying confidence the Druid is known for.

At the heart of the Druid E is the Avinox drive system, paired with an 800 Wh battery for extended range on long days in the hills. T4 and T3 builds are powered by the Avinox M2 motor, delivering 110 Nm of continuous torque (125 Nm on boost) and 1,100 W of peak power. T2 and T1 builds step up to the Avinox M2S, producing 130 Nm of continuous torque (150 Nm on boost) and 1,300 W of peak power for maximum performance capability. Power delivery is intuitive and tuneable via the 2-inch OLED full-colour control display and the Avinox app, with wireless handlebar controls keeping everything within easy reach on the trail.

The Trifecta V3 suspension platform has been redesigned specifically for the demands of an e-MTB. A vertically positioned shock maximises dropper post clearance, a carbon rocker link reduces unsprung mass and isolates the shock from lateral forces, and the suspension tune has been refined to deliver a supple, consistent feel under power. The result is 150mm of rear wheel travel that works with you on the way up and inspires confidence on the way down.

The Druid E is the world's first truly proportionally sized e-MTB, with Forbidden's OneRide sizing treatment applied across all four frame sizes — so every rider gets the same handling characteristics regardless of stature. Mixed wheel sizing (29" front, 27.5" rear) keeps the bike agile and manoeuvrable despite the added weight of the motor and battery.

A full suite of custom in-house frame protection covers the chainstay, seatstay, downtube, and motor. An e-bike-specific 18-tooth steel idler with Enduro solid lube bearings ensures drivetrain longevity and compatibility with the latest T-Type and AXS drivetrains. Every size can accommodate a full 26 oz water bottle, and the Druid E carries Forbidden's lifetime carbon frame warranty.

Available in four build levels — T1 through T4 — the Druid E scales from trail-ready performance to full top-spec capability, with every build sharing the same full carbon frame and Avinox drive system. This is witchcraft, electrified.

Features
  • 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

For 2026 there is just one model, Druid E, and it is powered by the Avinox drive system in two trims depending on build kit. T1 and T2 get the M2S motor, delivering 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm Boost) and 1300 watts, in a 2.6 kg package. T3 and T4 run the M2 motor, delivering 110 Nm of torque (125 Nm Boost) and 1100 watts, with a motor weight of 2.65 kg. Both builds can be paired with 600 Wh or 800 Wh battery options, letting you choose between a lighter setup or maximum range.

  • 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.
