Additional Info
Here it is, my more or less no-expense-spared Forbidden Druid CorE. Started as a core 3 build and pulled all the parts off to install these. Intially had a Fox Podium on the bike however the seals started leaking after a week of owning it and that's when I jumped on the Intend fork instead. First Intend product and easily the best feeling fork I've ever ridden. Even noticeably better than the podium, which I did thoughly enjoy before it needed to be sent in for warranty.
Bike is a little on the heavier side with the USD fork and coil shock but it holds lines extremely well and offers dual crown like stiffness upfront. Takes a little more effort to throw around but is still a very fun a poppy bike for what it is. Smiles for miles with the 800wh battery and avinox motor which has been great thus far. Turbo mode really is nuts and just makes you giggle when using it.
