Forbidden's New Bike: A 120mm Downcountry Bike with a New Suspension Design

Forbidden Bikes is breaking new ground with the launch of their first-ever downcountry bike and a bold departure from their signature high-pivot design philosophy. With 120mm of travel, a playful geometry, and a lighter, more agile feel, it promises to redefine what riders expect from a downcountry machine.

The introduction signifies Forbidden's commitment to diversifying its product range and meeting the evolving demands of the mountain biking community. By venturing into the downcountry segment with a non-high-pivot design, Forbidden aims to attract a wider audience in search of a versatile and efficient mountain bike.

Who is this bike for?

1. - Love the uphill grind as much as the downhill flow.

   - Want a bike that feels light and lively but still capable on technical terrain.

   - Appreciate Forbidden’s focus on innovative designs but prefer a traditional suspension layout.

The bike is set to be officially announced during Sea Otter 2025.
