Description
Introducing Dreadnought E. An e-MTB built from the ground up with a singular purpose - to charge through the most chaotic, rowdy lines you can find, and whisk you back to the top asking for more. Dreadnought E delivers a whole new level of confidence and redefines what it means to truly fear no trail. Big travel. Full power. Zero hesitation.
170mm of Trifecta rear travel paired with a 180mm fork. The kinematic delivers a predictable ride feel that was defined to work with the newest generation of coil and large volume air shocks. Combine this with a rearward, yet reserved axle path, and the bike has the ability to plow when you drop your heels, but still offer pop and support when it’s needed to get off the ground or pump to generate that addictive speed.
Equipped with the new Avinox M2S drive system, you’re looking at 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm in boost) and 1300 watts of peak power in a 2.65 kg package. With an 800 Wh battery, the builds come in at 53.5lbs (24.30 kg) or less.
Dreadnought E geo is unapologetically downhill focused. A mixed-wheel size only platform with a tall front end, slack angles, and specifically designed around short cranks. This all focuses the riders position to be more centered, tall and relaxed, offering control and composure previously only reserved for downhill race bikes. Of course, Dreadnought E also gets Forbidden's full OneRide proportional sizing treatment and is the world’s second truly proportionally sized e-bike (the Druid E was the first).
Dreadnought E isn’t here to play nice, it’s here to go further, hit harder, and redefine what a full-power, big-travel e-MTB is supposed to feel like.
