THE DRUID

Packing a punch in all the right places with a spec that leaves no stone unturned, the Druid SLX sports the same all-carbon high pivot chassis found on every other Druid, but in a more wallet-friendly configuration. Our ‘One Ride’ geometry philosophy sees the Druid’s ‘actual’ seat tube angle increase per size alongside stack height, and both front and rear centres, keeping you centred, balanced and ready for anything. Such readiness will be more than welcome with a suspension system that eliminates unwanted drivetrain forces, allowing you to tackle trails you’ve previously avoided. With  150mm travel in the front and 130mm in the rear, the Druid SLX won’t waste any time establishing what it can do, leaving you to rethink what you once thought impossible on a trail bike.

It’s time for high pivot suspension technology to make the leap from the downhill race track to your local trail network. With each frame size designed to optimize fit for all sizes and statures, the 130mm travel Druid balances both stability and agility making it nimble enough to hammer out after work rides yet burly enough for weekend shuttles. The Druid’s Trifecta suspension system generates grip and pop in spades while offering an unworldly ability to absorb successive hits on the trail. The more you ask of the Druid, the more it gives and the more you’ll want to push its limits. Available in three colours and in four sizes, it’s time to start piecing that dream build together ready for the trails.

SIZING GUIDE



DRUID FEATURES

01

CARBON CONSTRUCTION

As the heart of any frame, the quality of the carbon construction is paramount to both ride quality and durability. To this end, we partnered with one of the leading manufacturers in the business which allows us to stand behind our product 100%.

02

HARDWARE

Our hardware is a testament to our attention to detail, from the forged Rate Control linkages to the custom stainless steel screws that hold everything together, we have spared no expense in the finishing of the Druid leaving nothing to chance.

03

CABLE ROUTING

We don’t discriminate against rightys or leftys and our adaptable cable routing allows you to neatly route the Druid’s cables and hoses no matter where in the world you come from or with what hand you operate your rear brake with.

04

REAR SHOCK COMPATIBILITY

The Druid comes equipped with a custom-tuned Fox DPX2 shock, but if your heart is set on something a bit more ‘heavy-hitting’, we have you covered. There is enough room in the Druid to fit the largest of air shocks with a leverage curve that is coil ready from the get-go.

05

WATER BOTTLE FITMENT

Even our smallest Druid frame size can fit a full-size 26oz water bottle, regardless of your rear shock reservoir. Remember, hydration is your friend, but sweaty backs most definitely are not.

06

FRAME PROTECTION

A quiet bike is a fast bike and a clean bike is less prone to problems, so we developed a full suite of custom frame protection to keep the noisy bits quiet and the hard to clean bits free from crud.

07

CHAIN GUIDE SOLUTION

All that high pivot goodness requires a solid chain retention solution so we turned to the chainguide experts over at ethirteen to develop a retention system specifically for the Druid.

08

ACCESSORY MOUNT

The ‘under the top tube’ mounting screws allow for the attachment of various accessory mounting solutions; pump, tools, a banana, the kitchen sink, go crazy, just don’t hang a water bottle there.

09

THREADED BB

Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

10

148 REAR HUB SPACING

Boosting 29” rear wheel stiffness since 2015.
