First Look: The Forbidden Reya is Not Your Ordinary XC Bike

Mar 2026 · Matt Beer

120mm of travel, a 65-degree head angle, and no high pivot to be seen.

Highs
  • Pedaling efficiency without disregarding square-edge performance

  • Horst link suspension with vertically-mounted shock retains descending capability

  • Full-size water bottle fits inside front triangle

  • Cable routing for remote lockout, accommodating left or right front brake

  • High anti-squat value (~110% at sag point) reduces pedal kickback in lower gears

  • Progressive leverage curve with smooth arc

  • Chainstay length (449mm on S3) is notably long for stability

  • Slack 65-degree head tube and steep 77-degree seat tube for new age aggro XC

Lows
  • No in-frame storage (chosen to save weight and maintain stiffness)

  • Largest size (S4) reach is only 495mm, may not suit taller riders

  • Cannot install 140mm fork without voiding warranty
