Our take on the Forbidden Druid 2

The Forbidden Druid 2 is a carbon trail bike with 130 mm of rear travel and a 150 mm fork, built around Forbidden's high-pivot suspension and a 29-inch or mixed-wheel (MX) setup. A complete build weighs about 32.4 lbs in size S2, which is light for a high-pivot trail bike. The best new price is $7,099 at Fanatik Bike Co. as of November 4, 2026, and only one store currently lists it new, so there is no lower recent price to compare against.

What reviewers say

Riders and testers describe the Druid 2 as a capable, planted trail bike whose high-pivot suspension shines on rough descents while remaining efficient enough to pedal. Most criticism centers on price and the extra maintenance of the idler drivetrain.

Pros
  • Suspension absorbs chatter and big hits well
  • Confident, stable handling at speed
  • Pedals better than its travel and weight suggest
Cons
  • Expensive compared with mainstream trail bikes
  • Idler pulley adds noise and upkeep
  • Heavier than some 130 mm rivals

About the Forbidden Druid 2

A new brew of high pivot witchcraft: the Forbidden Druid V2 has been refined from the top down. Running 130mm of "Trifecta" high-pivot suspension, the V2 has a more supple feel at the top of its travel, maintains a supportive mid stroke that lets you chase away your demons, and becomes more progressive at the end strok

Questions and answers

Is the Druid 2 worth $7,099?
It is a premium carbon trail bike with high-pivot suspension, so you pay for ride quality and exclusivity rather than value. At $7,099 at Fanatik Bike Co. as of November 4, 2026, it competes with other boutique trail builds. Buy it if the suspension feel matters more than saving money.
How does the Druid 2 differ from the original Druid?
The Druid 2 updates the frame and geometry and runs 130 mm rear travel with a 150 mm fork. It keeps the high-pivot layout but is lighter and more refined than the first Druid. Exact geometry changes are worth checking against the original if you own one.
Can I run it as a mixed-wheel (MX) bike?
Yes. Forbidden lists the Druid 2 for 29-inch or MX wheels, so you can run a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear. That setup slackens the bike slightly and suits riders who want more rear-wheel clearance.
How much does the Druid 2 weigh?
The tested build weighs 32.4 lbs in size S2. That is light for a high-pivot trail bike, though frame size and build parts will change the figure.
What is included in the build?
The listing covers a complete Druid 2 build with a carbon frame, 130 mm rear travel and a 150 mm fork. Component details are not specified, so confirm the exact spec with the store before ordering.
When is the Druid 2 cheapest?
Only one store lists it new at $7,099 as of November 4, 2026, so there is no lower recent price to wait for. Watch for end-of-season sales and prior-model clearance, when boutique bikes usually drop most.
