A New Level of Confidence has Arrived
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.
Dreadnought E is available in 4 complete build tiers featuring the all-new Avinox M2S and M2 drive systems, giving you up to 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm in boost) and 1300 W of peak power with the M2S and 110 Nm of torque (125 Nm in boost) and 1100 W of peak power with the M2. Dreadnought E also gives the rider the option of either a 600 Wh or 800 Wh battery. Choose your preference, 800 Wh for maximum range, 600 Wh for maximum ride handling. With a 600 Wh battery, the builds come in at 51.6lbs (23.43 kg) or less, and 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 our full OneRide proportional sizing treatment and is the world’s second truly proportionally sized e-bike (yes, 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.
As with all things Forbidden, the Dreadnought E is incredibly limited. Forbidden is sold out on this bike meaning every bike they have produced or plan to produce is spoken for. We've got a few reserved for us that will be dropping by the end of April. We expect these to go fast and they will most likely be gone before they arrive. If you are interested, give us a ring ASAP. A 20% deposit will reserve the bike for you. These can be picked up in store or shipped to you in our Ready to Ride packaging.
We have the T2 800 Wh version coming in both S2 and S3.
