Forbidden Druid E Electric Mountain Bikes

The Forbidden Druid E combines Forbidden's proven high-pivot suspension platform with the powerful Avinox drive system to deliver exceptional climbing performance and confidence on technical descents. Unlike many full-power eMTBs, the Druid E maintains playful handling while providing impressive traction and stability through rough terrain. Riders looking for an aggressive trail or enduro eMTB that feels composed at speed will appreciate the unique suspension design and balanced geometry.

All Forbidden Druid E models share the same high-pivot carbon frame and geometry, but they differ in both component specification and motor performance. The T1 and T2 feature the more powerful Avinox M2S motor, while theT3 and T4use the Avinox M2motor. Suspension, wheels, drivetrain and brakes also vary between models, allowing you to choose the best balance of performance and value for your riding style and budget.

The Forbidden Druid E is available with two versions of the Avinox drive system, depending on the model you choose.

The Tier 1 (T1) and Tier 2 (T2) are equipped with the Avinox M2S motor, delivering up to 120Nm of peak torque and 1,000W peak power in Boost mode. This is the highest-performance Avinox motor, designed for riders who want maximum assistance on steep climbs and demanding terrain.

The Tier 3 (T3) and Tier 4 (T4) feature the Avinox M2 motor, producing up to 105Nm of peak torque and 850W peak power in Boost mode. The M2 offers smooth, natural assistance with outstanding climbing performance while maintaining excellent battery efficiency.

Both systems use the same Avinox ecosystem, including the display, wireless controls, smartphone app and customisable ride modes.

The main difference is maximum power output.

• Avinox M2S (T1 & T2): Up to 120Nm of peak torque and 1,000W peak power.
• Avinox M2 (T3 & T4): Up to 105Nm of peak torque and 850W peak power.

Both motors deliver smooth, responsive assistance and share the same display, controls and software platform. The M2S is aimed at riders who want the highest possible performance, while the M2 provides more than enough power for most trail and enduro riding.

Choosing the correct frame size is essential for getting the most from the Druid E. While Forbidden provides recommended rider height ranges, factors such as riding style, reach preference and previous bike fit should also be considered. If you're between sizes or unsure, contact CB Cycles with your height and current bike details and we'll recommend the most suitable size.
