Any rumours which ‘core’ brands are jumping on the new DJI engine?

How reliable is that source ? Website seems very sketchy and its location is in Belgium.

The website also mentions a new Forbidden Reya XC non high pivot bike.

The e-forbiddens were expected. As for the xc/dc bike, am genuinely curious... Especially as they mention it doesn't use a high-pivot... Flex pivot like 90% of xc/dc bikes?

It's mentioned on Forbidden's website.

 

That e-Druid might very well be my next bike.

They better call the E-Dreadnaught the "Naught-E"

Oh, and then they can do a Backcountry edition and call it "Nauht-E By Nature". 

I'll see myself out.

Where do you see that on the site? I'm not in the market for an e bike but that 120 "Reya" would be intriguing if the source is legit. It almost seems like someone at Forbidden leaked basic info to that site and they filled in the blanks...

From the red website, pretty solid that their new ebike is running a DJI

Me too. I really dislike fiddling with dropper remotes when it's maintenance time.

I believe I mentioned something about new forbidden bikes and everyone just immediately assumed eBikes.......

surely i cant be the only one who hates the fox neo dropper design, ie the system being at the mid cap assembly, it looks so out of place and odd.
We buy all these nice clean looking bikes then a huge bulge 3/4 up a seat tube lol.
I've been wanting a wireless dropper but not when they look like that lmao

Agreed. It looks terrible in photos and in person. Really hoping BikeYoke releases their wireless version and/or an aftermarket kit to retrofit your existing dropper.

I’m with you. I want my bikes to look good (to me) and that battery placement makes my eye twitch.

There's a strap-to-the-bike Fidlock mount which is less ideal but at least it's an option.

I have it on my fixed gear commuter. It's better than nothing, for sure!
