2024 Forbidden Dreadnought V2 X0 RS U

Forbidden Dreadnought X01 RS U

For 2024 the Forbidden Dreadnought gets a V2 update, much like its Druid bredren.  With a revamped suspension system and new build kits, it’s a complete refresh for this big hitting high-pivot monster!

All of the Dreadnought bikes feature Sram brakes and T-Type drivetrain, with a range of Rockshox suspension packages to complete the build.  This version is the X01 RS U build, with X01 AXS T-type drivetrain, Maven Ultimate brakes with a Rockshox Zeb Ultimate and Vivid Ultimate.  Crank Brothers Sythesis Carbon wheels round out the package!

Although the Dreadnought is their more popular model, you may find the Druid a better bet for a short travel, sprightlier trail bike - but that is all down to personal preference!  For other big travel Enduro bikes, we also offer the Hope HB916 or Santa Cruz Megatower and Nomad.
