Forbidden Reya: A 120mm Downcountry Bike with a New Suspension Design
Forbidden Bikes is breaking new ground with the launch of the Reya, 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, the Raya promises to redefine what riders expect from a downcountry machine.
The introduction of the Raya 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 the Reya for?
- 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.
