Forbidden Bike Company announces the launch of the new 2026 Druid E, the evolution of its high-performance e-bike which, after the success of the first year, returns with a completely updated platform and a simplified range.
Source: press release
The 2026 Druid E was created with a specific goal: to offer an even more powerful, stable, and intuitive riding experience, while maintaining the brand's distinctive character. Described as a true "wolf in sheep's clothing," this e-bike combines a clean aesthetic with benchmark performance in the trail/enduro segment.
For 2026, Forbidden is abandoning the LitE and CorE versions, introducing a single platform with full excursions:
- 150 mm at the rear
- 160 mm at the front
A design choice that aims to maximize versatility and control, making the Druid E suitable for both technical climbs and the most challenging descents.
New generation of Avinox engines
The Druid E 2026 is equipped with the new Avinox systems, available in two configurations:
Avinox M2S (Tier 1 and 2)
1300 W of power
130 Nm (up to 150 Nm in boost mode)
Avinox M2 (Tier 3 and 4)
1100 W of power
110 Nm (up to 125 Nm in boost)
Class-leading performance, designed to deliver instant assistance, optimal traction and maximum responsiveness on any terrain.
Tailor-made autonomy
Riders can choose between two battery options:
- 600 Wh for a lighter and more dynamic configuration
- 800 Wh for maximum autonomy and long days in the saddle
