Forbidden EMTB

[jbrown15]

Do you feel confident Forbidden will be able to sell in US by the end of the year (genuinely curious)? We have yet to see the Amflow in the US.

The eDruid should be on dealer floors by August.

Assuming the Tariffs don't screw it up, they are supposed to be available for purchase around 4th quarter in the USA. A lot of the earlier ones might already be spoken for though.

I obviously, can't speak to the tariffs.

The tariffs have been paused as Canada and Mexico both folded as expected. Who knows how long it will last though, maybe it will give Forbidden a push to get the bike out faster as the US is probably their biggest market.

offering the same deal they already had with biden is not exactly what i would call "folding"

Do you know when they should present it?

I'm curious what the value proposition will be for the e-druid. It seems like a similar bike to the Amflow, but for a couple grand more.

It’ll be in line with where Orbea prices their carbon Wild’s at.

You'd be buying a bike from a manufacturer that's been making bikes at least for a little bit instead of an unknown startup.

I'm also hoping it won't be a wet noodle , check out the loam wolf reviews of the amflow.

At Sea Otter in April all will be revealed.

I've seen pricing, it's not out of line but it's not a 'value proposition' either.

It's a bike that you really either have to have because it's exactly what you have been waiting for, and extra $2000 doesn't matter much, or it isn't.

If you want the DJI motor, and you want a High-Pivot, AND you want some pretty cutting edge or extreme geo (depends on perspective I guess), it'll be the ONLY choice.

It's priced right in line with other brands offering carbon bikes. Similar to Santa Cruz Vala S spec and up and right in between an Orbea Wild M20 & M10 and priced up.

There will be three build specs. Lowest spec will have mechanical drivetrain and the two higher models will have AXS wireless. It's going to be a very polarizing bike with the HP and DJI motor.
