THIS CORNER SLAYING, SQUARE-EDGE HIT DESTROYING HOOLIGAN OF A BIKE WILL TRANSFORM THE WAY YOU RIDE YOUR LOCAL TRAILS FOREVER.

The latest iteration of our genre-melting trail bike has arrived. We've called upon
sacred wisdom to deliver a bike that truly defies convention.


The Druid is a trail bike through and through. The new Druid sees a ground-up frame
re-imagination that reaffirms its position at the top of the trail bike class. Every trait
and characteristic you know and love about the existing Druid is at the core of the
new version. It just looks a little different and rides even better.


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, it is equally at home hammering out trail
rides after work, crushing epic alpine traverses, and blasting weekend shuttle laps. A
bike that delivers pedal-all-day efficiency when you want it and
tech-descent-tackling confidence you need it. A short travel trail bike by definition
but a kilometre-crushing, chunder-devouring, fun machine by any other description.

All over the mountain, the more you ask of the Druid, the more you get.
