Forbidden 2027 Druid E T4 Complete Mx 800w - Sandstorm | M2

Forbidden Druid E T4, Sandstorm

The Druid E T4 brings together a full-carbon chassis, 150mm of rear travel and a 160mm RockShox Lyrik fork for technical trail riding. Its Trifecta V3 high-pivot four-bar suspension and One Ride geometry work with a mixed-wheel layout: a 29-inch front wheel for rolling through rocks and roots, paired with a 27.5-inch rear wheel for manoeuvrability through tight corners.

This Sandstorm build combines the Avinox M2 drive system and an 800Wh battery with SRAM Eagle 70 mechanical T-Type shifting. Set out for a winding trail loop, lower the saddle for the descent and use the motor assistance for the climb back. RockShox suspension, SRAM DB4 brakes and a size-specific TranzX dropper post complete a practical build for demanding trail days.
