Forbidden Dreadnought S2 MX Full Carbon MTB Frameset - KX500

Season:2025

Brand:Forbidden

Code:000.701.1004

Dreadnought V2 takes a class-defining high‑pivot platform and pushes it further — more capability, more refinement and a next‑generation suspension system. Built from a pedigree that includes World Cup Downhill, enduro racing and relentless bike‑park laps, this V2 update reshapes every detail to deliver a brawler that remains remarkably versatile.

Design and performance

The V2 applies the next‑gen suspension architecture seen on the Druid and Supernought to the Dreadnought’s proven chassis. The result is increased travel and a thoroughly overhauled package that balances race‑grade aggression with park‑ready resilience. From technical descents to hit‑loaded laps, it’s engineered to inspire confidence and demand more.

Ride character

Purposeful and unapologetic, the Dreadnought V2 is built to attack steep, rough terrain while staying composed through repeated impacts. From the cockpit, you’re encouraged to push harder — obstacles become opportunities.

Key Features:

  • High‑pivot platform: A category‑defying chassis proven on World Cup Downhill tracks, enduro races and in the bike park.
  • Next‑gen suspension (front & rear): Employs the advanced suspension system shared with the Druid and Supernought, tailored for the Dreadnought V2.
  • Increased travel & refined geometry: The V2 adds travel and refines every detail to enhance capability and control.
  • Race‑bred durability: Engineered to withstand repeated laps and heavy use while maintaining performance.
  • Versatile across disciplines: Equally at home on downhill race tracks, enduro stages and in the bike park.
  • Aggressive, confidence‑inspiring handling: Designed to let riders push harder and see opportunities rather than obstacles.
  • Comprehensively overhauled V2 upgrade: Delivers more firepower and capability than the previous generation without sacrificing the Dreadnought’s core identity.
