DJI Avinox + High Pivot : Le combo ultime ? On a testé le Forbidden Druid Core E

Forbidden's first e-bike has arrived, and it's unlike anything else. 🇨🇦⚡️ In this new episode of E-trapanelles, we're taking a deep dive into the Forbidden Druid Core E. For its first foray into electric bikes, the Cumberland-based brand made a bold choice: the DJI Avinox motor. We'll tell you the story of this project, which shifted at the last minute to integrate into this ecosystem from the drone world. We spent a lot of time on this frame to understand if the High Pivot design was the ideal partner to handle the 120 Nm and 1000W peak power of the Avinox motor. Between its incredible traction uphill and the feeling of endless travel downhill, we explored the limits of this machine. On the agenda for this review: Project Genesis: Why Forbidden chose DJI Technical Analysis: 105 Nm constant torque (120 Nm peak) and 1000W, ultra-compact 800 Wh battery, and touchscreen ergonomics. Kinematics: The transition from High Pivot to e-bike format and its impact on grip. On-the-ground feel: Is this still a mountain bike, or does this Druid define a new category? We'll share our honest assessments of performance, handling, and that crucial price/performance ratio that places this bike firmly in the premium segment. And you, what's your take on this shift towards ultra-power? We look forward to your feedback in the comments, especially from early adopters of Avinox systems. 👇 Enjoy the video, and don't forget to subscribe to support the channel! 🛠️☕️ 🎥 Our technical explanations to help you better understand the test: High pivot point explanation:    • Le Point de Pivot Haut pour les Nuls : Tou...   Mountain bike geometries:    • Géométrie VTT : Ce que les chiffres ne dis...   Understanding mountain bike kinematics:    • Comprendre les cinématiques VTT : tout ce ...   Understanding the damping curve:    • La Courbe d’Amortissement : C’est elle qui...   Chain effect:    • 🚴‍♂️ Les Blabla de Simon |  L’effet de cha...   Braking effect:    • 🚴‍♂️ Les Blabla de Simon | Freiner Change ...   Arm effect:    • VTT : Comment Ta Position Influence Ta Sus...   Useful links: 🔗 Forbidden Druid (note: link for the 2026 model): https://l00p.eu/sKyQK8PV Thank you to Terres de Café, our roaster, for supporting us: https://l00p.eu/wr4wLNNq 🔔 💬 Subscribe and join us here: Instagram:   / cafemanivelles   Facebook:   / cafemanivelles   TikTok:   / cafemanivelles   Strava Simon:   / strava   Strava Anthony:   / strava   ✨ Great deals for you! ✨ Because we love to pamper you, here are some special offers with our partners and awesome promo codes: Sendhit Hand Protector: Use the code cafemanivelles24 for 10% off all complete Nock sets (3 black variants and 5 other colors), limited to one use per customer, but no minimum purchase. here: https://l00p.eu/zKFJ8v8H Monkey Product: Use the code Cafemanivelles for 30% off.
