Forbidden Dreadnought 2 29 - KX500

Forbidden Dreadnought 2 29” – Fear Nothing

Born on the race circuit and raised in the bike park, the Forbidden Dreadnought 2 is the unapologetic evolution of a category-defying beast. With a next-gen high pivot suspension system inspired by its siblings, the Druid and Supernought, this machine doesn’t just push boundaries—it barrels through them. The Dreadnought V2 delivers more travel, more control, and more aggression without sacrificing the composure or finesse that made the original a standout.

From enduro stages to bike park laps, from brutal rock gardens to flowy jump lines, the Dreadnought sees no obstacles—only opportunities. If you’re looking for a big bike that thrives under pressure and begs to be pushed harder, this is your weapon.
