My Dream Bike Journey | Forbidden Druid Core | 2026 |

Introducing my dream build — the Forbidden Druid Core. #forbiddenbikecompany
I’ve waited months for this bike since it was first announced at the Sea Otter Classic 2025.

The journey to get it was wild — order placed, multiple ETAs missed, and finally a custom build that turned out better than I could have imagined.

🚵‍♂️ My build:
• Frame + DJI Avinox Drive System
• Fox 38 Float Factory GRIP2 170mm fork
• Fox DHX2 coil shock (550 lb spring)
• Trickstuff Maxima brakes
• We Are One Convergence Fuse wheels
• Industry Nine Hydra hubs
• XO drivetrain
• RockShox Reverb AXS B2 200 mm dropper
• Ergon SMC Pro saddle
• OneUp Components Carbon Handlebar V2 50 mm rise
• Race Face pedals, stem & grips
• RideWrap protection

🎥 Tech integration:
The Avinox system syncs with the DJI Osmo Action 5, letting me control the camera directly from the bike and overlay real-time ride stats on the footage.

🩺 Unfortunately, I injured my MCL right before the bike arrived, so I’m easing into rides carefully — but I couldn’t resist sharing this beauty.
