The Forbidden Dreadnought is back rowdier than ever and V2 gets 160mm of high-pivot next-gen suspension

The Forbidden Dreadnought V2.

The Forbidden Dreadnought is renowned as a genuine trailblazer, forging a path for high-pivot performance bikes. The original Dreadnought is one of the best enduro bikes around and has proven itself ready to tackle anything from the rigors of the race track to all-day bike park laps, and just about everything in between, offering riders a bike with loads of versatility. 

Forbidden has now launched the Dreadnought V2 and it gets the brand's next-gen high-pivot suspension platform featuring 160mm of travel paired with a 170mm fork. Forbidden has taken its next-gen suspension first seen on what they say is the class-leading Forbidden Druid and Supernought, and added it to the Dreadnought. Forbidden adds they have overhauled every detail of its rowdy bike park brawler and Dreadnought V2 is a mountain bike that blends the Druid's agility and pop with the Supernought's speed and stability.
