"The Reya is a 120mm trail bike paired with a 130mm fork. Certainly short travel on both ends for Forbidden. And the brand known for high-pivots, idlers, and rearward axle paths included none of them on the new Reya. Stepping away from a high-pivot, the Forbidden Reya features a good 'ol-fashioned four-bar suspension platform."
"Anti-squat sits at about 110% at SAG in the climbing gears, providing a supportive pedaling platform while still delivering good climbing traction. But as the bike shifts into harder gears, Forbidden says the anti-squat value increases to maximize pedaling efficiency. Forbidden utilizes a fairly progressive leverage curve on the Reya, providing consistent support throughout the travel."
"What Forbidden currently lacks in its full-suspension offerings is an everyday trail machine. Not the 'trails' of Squamish or North Vancouver, or other steep descending meccas of the PNW, but the pedal-friendly, pump and jump trails most of us ride. I mean, if we're honest, it is what most of us ride."
Forbidden Bike Company, known for gravity-focused bikes with high-pivot suspension systems, has released the Reya to fill a gap in their lineup. The Reya is a 120mm full-suspension trail bike paired with a 130mm fork, designed for everyday trail riding rather than steep descending terrain. Unlike Forbidden's other bikes featuring high-pivots and idler pulleys, the Reya uses a traditional four-bar suspension platform. The bike incorporates approximately 110% anti-squat at sag for supportive climbing while maintaining traction. Forbidden designed a progressive leverage curve to provide consistent support throughout the travel range, combined with large-volume air cans to deliver suppleness, sensitivity, and traction across various riding conditions.
