Meet the New Forbidden Avinox E-Bikes

Forbidden’s new Avinox-powered eMTBs bring together high-pivot Trifecta suspension and full-power performance for a ride that stays planted and predictable when things get rough. The Druid-E is the more versatile option, while the Dreadnought-E is built to push harder into bigger terrain. Powered by Avinox’s new M2S or M2 motor depending on build, both deliver powerful, natural support, with up to 150 Nm of torque, 1300 watts of peak power, and an 800Wh battery.

Druid-E Features

Trifecta V3 Platform

The latest iteration of the Trifecta suspension platform elevates the ride characteristics expected from a Forbidden to a new level. A refined rearward axle path, updated idler position, and optimized kinematics work together to improve traction, support, and overall control across varied terrain. The updated platform also increases seatpost insertion and allows for a cleaner integration of the motor and battery.

Big Travel. Zero Hesitation

Built for riders who want maximum confidence when things get steep, fast, and rough, the Dreadnought-E is a full-power eMTB with serious downhill intent. With big travel, mixed wheels, and Forbidden’s high-pivot Trifecta suspension, it stays composed when the trail gets chaotic and encourages you to push harder, ride faster, and commit to bigger lines.
