Meet Reya. A short travel trail bike done the Forbidden way. Proportional geo, predictable handling, and a penchant for serving a disproportionate dose of confidence. Up, down, cross country, or back country, this punchy little bike covers ground efficiently while retaining its ability to get rowdy and hang tough when the trail gets rough. This is not an XCO bike with pumped-up travel. It is a bike built from the ground up to maximise fun and speed.
This is suspension and geometry done right.
Reya is a short travel trail bike ready to rip the legs off your lunch lap crew, reclaim your window of spiritual solitude while you sync with the trail, or be the little voice that says yes to those absurd backcountry missions.
The ones that only feel fun weeks after you’re home.

Trifecta V3 Platform
Trifecta V3 Platform
The latest iteration of our Trifecta platform elevates the spellbinding ride characteristics you expect from a Forbidden to a new level. For Reya, we put less priority on the axle path and more on getting the right suspension characteristic for the intended trail and use case for this category. The goal was to to maximize traction, momentum, and efficiency. No idler. No high pivot. All Forbidden

02
Carbon Rocker Link
Carbon Rocker Link
The Trifecta V3 platform features a carbon rocker link. The carbon rocker link is light, stiff, reduces unsprung mass, isolates the shock from lateral forces, and gives the bike the right amount of progressivity for its intended use. 8 x 30 mm bearing hardware, top and bottom, comes as standard on all shocks.

03
Bolts and Bearings
Bolts and Bearings
Reya utilizes our tried-and-tested hardware, all designed in-house and all bolt-checkable with a single multi-tool. We employ a full complement of oversized bearing to improve sensitivity and extended service intervals. No flex stays, no compromised kinematics. This is a proper linkage-driven bike.

04
Water Bottle Fitment
Water Bottle Fitment
Like all our bikes, there is room for a full-size bottle on all sizes. And yes, only one bottle. We prioritized shock mount locations over 2 bottle cages. The shock is mounted off the bottom bracket area, which gives us a stiffer base and reduces torsional loads compared to top tube-mounted shocks.

05
Cable And Hose Management
Cable And Hose Management
Reya features our versatile cable management system. This allows you to run your brakes whichever way you want while keeping all your cables and hoses orderly without worry. There is even the option to run a cable-actuated shock lockout. If you are into that type of thing.

Frame Protection
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 customized rubberized frame protection to minimize noise and general wear and tear.

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.
