Forbidden x DVO Custom Builds at iRIDE

Earlier in the year, we were thrilled to announce our partnership with Forbidden, a boutique Canadian brand known for their high pivot witchcraft trail bike, the Druid. Recently, we've worked on a series of custom builds equipped with the widely renowned DVO coil suspension, resulting in these amazing builds.

Wheels supplied by Stan's NoTubes, with custom decals for the all important colour coordination and SRAM Eagle AXS for some bling.

The highlight of the build was brought to us by DVO's suspension, custom built and tuned to each rider by Jesse Patel, the suspension genius based in Nelson - check out some of his work on his website or social media. Jesse takes every DVO shock and fork bought and pulls them apart to rebuild and tune them according to each individual rider, resulting in an unrivaled custom set up and riding experience.

We had the frame professionally wrapped to for ultimate protection, the result being a near invisible finish that will preserve the paint and decals, no matter what's thrown at it.

Like what you see? Talk to us today about your own custom build - make your dream bike a reality and become the envy of all your mates on the mountain.
