**Druid – The Modern Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing**

The Druid is a high-performance trail bike, equipped with the innovative Trifecta suspension platform that defies expectations. It delivers both predictable traction and playful pop, while effortlessly handling rough terrain. With a geometry that strikes a perfect balance between stability and agility, the Druid excels in all trail scenarios—from after-work rides and weekend shuttle laps to epic alpine traverses.

Though modest on paper, the Druid offers on-trail characteristics that go beyond its class, combining pedal-all-day efficiency with confidence-inspiring handling on technical descents. It’s a short-travel trail bike by definition but a fun, chunder-devouring machine in every other sense.

**Intended Use:** All Mountain  
**Suspension:** 130mm Rear | 150mm Front  
**Wheel Size:** Full 29” or Mixed (MX)

### Key Features:

- **V2 Frame Layout:** The second iteration of the Druid features an inverted four-bar suspension design. It retains the original’s ride characteristics while shedding weight from the main frame and maintaining durability.
  
- **Hardware:** The V2 Rate Control Linkage uses oversized bearings and locking collet axles for easy maintenance and long-lasting performance.
  
- **Idler Pulley System:** The Druid now features an 18-tooth steel idler with a solid lube bearing, improving longevity and drivetrain compatibility.

- **Water Bottle Fitment:** Even the smallest frame can fit a 26oz water bottle, ensuring hydration without the need for a backpack.

- **Frame Protection:** A full suite of custom frame protection keeps your ride quiet and clean, preventing unwanted noise and grime build-up.

- **Cable Routing:** Adaptable cable routing accommodates both left- and right-handed riders, with clamping hose/cable ports to prevent unwanted movement.

- **Accessory Mount:** Mount various accessories under the top tube—whether it’s a pump, tools, or even a banana. Just don't put your water bottle there!

- **Sensible Standards:** Featuring a threaded bottom bracket, Boost rear wheel spacing, and press-in headset cups for durability and ease of service. No trendy but questionable design choices here—looking at you, headset cable routing!
