"Lately, it's all been about eMTBs, carbon this, high-pivot that, but not today. Forbidden Bikes pours up a cup of refreshing titanium hardtail goodness with two new options for riders who want a bike that won't let you down for a lifetime of year-round abuse, questionable adventures, and poor-route planning. The Heathen and Puritan are bikes that adhere to tried-and-true standards, proportional geometry, and a frame material that will never be obsolete."
"Forbidden is calling the Puritan and the Heathen the newest members of their "Bicycle Witchcraft family". Made from titanium, with proportionally sized geo numbers, these are designed for the rider looking for a lifetime of simplicity. And no, there's no idler pulley or a high-pivot layout, just burly titanium tubes and an insatiable hunger for singletrack. This limited run of titanium frames is designed to be ridden without a delicate foot on the pedals and kept for a lifetime."
Forbidden Bikes introduced the Puritan and Heathen titanium hardtail frames built for durability and long-term use. The frames use ONERIDE proportional sizing to blend gravel efficiency with hardtail MTB comfort and stability. Both frames include a 50mm RockShox Rudy XL fork and Cane Creek headset, flat-bar geometry with a 60mm stem preference, and clean external cable routing. They are optimized for 700c x 2.0" (50mm) tires, 142 x 12 rear spacing, a 73mm threaded bottom bracket, accessory mounts, rear fender and rack mounts, and room for two 750ml+ bottles.
