FORBIDDEN DREADNOUGHT-E T1 (2026)

Featuring 170mm of rear travel paired with a 180mm fork, combined with a rearward, yet reserved axle path, Dreadnought E 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 spec’d with the all-new Avinox M2 and M2S drive systems. Tier 1 and Tier 2 run the Avinox M2S, a 2.6 kg unit delivering 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm Boost) and 1300 watts. Tier 3 and Tier 4 run the Avinox M2, weighing 2.65 kg, delivering 110 Nm of torque (125 Nm Boost) and 1100 watts. Both options can be paired with 600 Wh or 800 Wh batteries, so you can choose a lighter setup or maximum range depending on how deep the mission goes.

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.
