Description
Dreadnought forged a new path for performance high pivot bikes and cemented the platform’s category-defying nature. It handled the demands of the World Cup Downhill circuit, survived the rigors of enduro racing, and took lap after lap of bike park abuse. All the while, still asking for more. From the race track to the bike park and everything in between Dreadnought has proven its unparalleled versatility.
Now it’s time for the big guns to get the V2 treatment. Dreadnought V2 carries the torch forward into a new realm of capability, giving riders even more firepower than ever before. Forbidden has taken their next-gen suspension system seen on class-leading Druid and Supernought and applied it to their revered brawler of a bike. Forbidden didn’t just up the caliber, add more travel, and call it good. They overhauled every detail to refine and distill its purpose into something that truly exhilarates.
Dreadnought. Fear Nothing.
