About the Druid

Druid is the modern wolf in sheep’s clothing. Its high pivot Trifecta suspension platform defies logic. Simultaneously generating predictable traction and playful pop while offering an otherworldly ability to devour chunky terrain. With geometry that effortlessly balances stability and agility, the Druid is a trail bike through and through. This bike is equally at home hammering out trail rides after work, ripping weekend shuttle laps, and crushing epic alpine traverses. This humble (on paper) trail bike boasts on-trail characteristics that don’t just punch above their class they defy classification altogether. A bike that delivers pedal-all-day efficiency when you want it and tech-descent-tackling confidence when you need it. A short travel trail bike by definition but a kilometer-crushing, chunder-devouring, fun machine by any other description.

Intended Use: Trail / All Mountain

Suspension: 130mm Rear / 150mm Front

Wheel Size: Full 29er or Mixed (MX)

About the Dreadnought

Bigger, burlier and ready for anything. This mountain taming bruiser of a bicycle knows no bound, and neither will you. Expanding our category defying high pivot design from the Druid and applying it to a platform for the extremes. A DH bike in all but the small print, ready for the rowdiest back-country lines, the steepest race stages and the shadiest gaps in the bike park. Bring the big guns, bring the Dreadnought and fear nothing. The only thing this bike needs is a pilot ready to feed it a non-stop diet of rough and rowdy terrain.
