22.33kg with pedals (-398g pedals)
It came with 23.5 kg without pedals in spec. T3
That's actually an insanely good weight considering the spec (800w battery, High pivot frame, heavier fork, not a light rear hub but Berd spokes help, long dropper, electric 12sp, 1 gravity tire). I'm seriously impressed and would have guessed 53#s/ 24 kgs.

And with special black sensorplate
I have 3 sets of Berd spoked wheels btw, and I really enjoy them. But definitely don't love them on the back of my e-bike. They just move too much, and I went back to steel spokes on my rear rim.
Although I'll definitely stick with Berds on my light duty trail bikes, my next e-bike wheels will be steel spokes both front and rear.

They look bloody lovely! Slightly regret not waiting for one but equally happy with my choice of a regulator.
Perhaps in the future

Thanks! It is very light for that kind of bike.
The goal was as light as possible, but still suitable for trail/enduro.
There ist room for another 500g without compromising the trailability
Lighter handlebar for example the Bike Ahead Riser
Lighter shock for example the new Intend Hover.
As you said a lighter rear hub or a completely other polymerspoke wheelset for example PiRope Enduro wheelset
Slightly lighter tires
Slightly lighter Dropper (Vecnum Nivo).
Lighter Brakes and Rotors (Intend or Trickstuff).
But that will cost a lot! And I owned most of the Parts already - so I am pretty happy with that build
Very nice build man. I am not the yellow colour kind of guy but still Which size do you have with 23.5kg? Probably S3?
Ordered T3 model as well, might put the Intend Edge from my Druidv2 on the Druid Core and thought about the Monocoque.. Too bad Intend does not sell in in 210 by 55mm as of right now and the existing model has a rider weight limit of only 95kg
The only thing with the Intend is missing fender. Been having not the best time on muddy trails with it. You basically look messed up after the first some meters

Colours and design are always a matter of taste. I like yellow and I like colour. Most bikes are coloured boring or so wildly painted that it's horrible.
I have already ridden the Intend on my previous bike. I find mudguards so ugly that I have preferred the face scrub all my life. But yes, you're right, you're always really dirty.
It is an S3. Yes.

We need someone to give us weekly ride videos on their Forbidden eDruid similar to Iain Richard does with his Amflow 
.... any takers?
.... any takers?
agree on this. Someone. Gotta say Ian has set a high standard but anything anyone has to offer would be much apreciated by me also
@orangeknuckles is the 22.3kg in stock form and with pedals on?
Maybe you scrolled by and missed it, last photo captions says 23.5 in stock form sans pedals. 22.3 is after the mods.
Right, it makes sense!

Stock weight was 23.5 kg without pedals.
22.3 kg WITH pedals after my part changes.
Without pedals it would be 21.9 kg now

Let's be honest, it's not light!
The frame is at least 1 kg heavier than the Unno/amflow.
It will definitely be satisfying to ride.

They are lighter, that is true, but the super light versions of Amflow and Unno using the 600 battery. The Core is equipped with 800.

I would like to understand the unno-amflow frameset - forbidden how much difference they have, I say 1 kg minimum

If you want to build a lighter one get a Lite and stick a bigger shock/fork on it

I dont care about 1 kg... its just to talk about it

I don't either. That's why I ordered a Core but it would be interesting if I could swap in a 600 once the batteries become available for thr public to actually buy
The weight is good.
Anytime that you have a High Pivot you get more hardware, chain, bolts, etc and they always gain about .5 kg from that alone.

Yeah even my Deviate is around 16kgs without a motor and it's CF frame

I’m
on the fence right now between getting a Regulator CX or Druid CorE. Wish I could try the Druid out to see how I like the high pivot. Love the idea of it
Idler wheel/hardware aside, Forbidden focus their frames for abuse versus weight. I’ve had a v1 Druid and have a v2 Druid now, and you’re gonna struggle to win a weight-weenie war with them.
There is less rearward axle path in the E versus meat models too. Only time I really feel it elongating is when compressing into a turn or a rapid speed slowdown. if you have a high speed chunky runout, you’ll glide through it easier. It’s not a dramatic change.

Been asking forbidden to confirm the mount hardware size for the shock for a week with no reply. Can anyone here let me know what it is?
