Meet Reya. Forbidden’s new short-travel trail bike built for speed, efficiency, and confidence. Sporty enough for big days, sturdy enough for rough ones, and engineered to deliver far more fun than the travel numbers suggest.

Designed with proportional geometry and predictable handling, Reya delivers a confident ride that feels fast everywhere. From technical singletrack and cross-country loops to long backcountry missions, this bike will be by your side for your best bad decisions. Reya was built from the ground up to be a true modern short-travel trail bike: fast, capable, and endlessly fun on the kind of trails that don’t demand the axle path of Druid but still reward precision, speed, and control.

This is not an XCO bike with pumped-up travel. Up, down, cross-country, or backcountry, this punchy little bike is eager to cover ground efficiently while retaining the ability to get rowdy and hang tough when the trail gets rough.
