Forbidden Bike Company has unveiled the Reya, a short-travel trail bike that marks a significant departure from their traditional high-pivot designs. With 120mm of rear travel and a 130mm fork, the Reya is tailored for riders seeking a versatile and responsive ride on diverse terrains.<\/p>\n
Design and Suspension<\/strong><\/p>\n Departing from Forbidden’s signature high-pivot suspension, the Reya features a conventional four-bar linkage system, commonly known as the Horst Link. This design choice aims to deliver a more traditional trail bike experience, emphasizing efficiency and responsiveness. The frame is constructed entirely from carbon fiber, with an estimated weight of approximately 2.27 kg (5 lbs) without the shock. Notably, the Reya omits internal cable routing to reduce weight and includes a single bottle cage mount to enhance frame rigidity. The shock is positioned low, near the bottom bracket, to lower the center of gravity and improve handling.<\/p>\n Geometry<\/strong><\/p>\n The Reya’s geometry reflects Forbidden’s gravity-oriented design philosophy. It boasts a 65\u00b0 head angle, a 77\u00b0 seat angle, and a reach of 475mm in size S3. These dimensions are designed to provide a stable yet agile ride, suitable for a wide range of trail conditions.<\/p>\n Pricing and Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n The Reya is available in three build configurations, with prices starting at \u20ac7,299. The top-tier model is priced at \u20ac10,999 and weighs in at 11.27 kg (24.8 lbs). A frame-only option is also available for \u20ac3,799.<\/p>\n For more information, visit Forbidden’s official website: https:\/\/forbiddenbike.com<\/a><\/p>\n
