Forbidden Dreadnought E – Raw Power, Total Control

Big travel, maximum power, zero hesitation: the new Forbidden Dreadnought E has arrived at Ridewill to redefine the concept of enduro e-MTBs. Designed from the ground up to tackle the most chaotic and aggressive lines, this bike combines Forbidden's legendary High Pivot technology with the integrity of a cutting-edge electric system.

Trifecta V3 Suspension: The heart of control

The Dreadnought E boasts 170mm of rear travel managed by the Trifecta V3 platform. Thanks to the rearward axle path, the bike is capable of "eating up" square-edged obstacles without losing speed. The 18-tooth steel idler pulley ensures incredible pedaling efficiency, eliminating the pedal kickback typical of long-travel bikes.

Paired with a 180mm fork, the kinematics have been optimized for modern large-volume air and coil shocks. The result is a predictable and responsive ride, offering support when you need to pump for speed and unbeatable stability on the roughest sections.

Avinox Integration: Smart Strength

The electric heart is the Avinox M2S system. With a motor unit weighing just 2.6kg, the Dreadnought E develops 130Nm of standard torque, reaching 150Nm in Boost mode. It's not just power: inertial sensors (IMU) and Smart Assist algorithms adapt the delivery instantly, ensuring natural traction even on technically impossible climbs.

Total integration: the 2" touchscreen OLED display on the top tube allows you to manage the system, upload your GPX tracks, and even recharge your smartphone via an integrated 65W USB-C port.

Range and Versatility: 600Wh or 800Wh

The Dreadnought E does not compromise on range. You can choose between the 800Wh battery for long alpine missions or the 600Wh version for those seeking maximum agility and reduced overall weight. Thanks to fast-charging technology, you can go from 0% to 80% in about 1.5 hours (for the 600Wh battery).

OneRide Geometry: One size, one feeling

Forbidden applies its OneRide philosophy: every size features proportional chainstays and specific seat angles. This ensures that every rider, regardless of height, is perfectly centered between the wheels, guaranteeing the same balanced and secure ride feeling across the entire size range.

Additionally, the bike is ready to power the SRAM AXS drivetrain directly from the main battery, eliminating the need to separately charge the small derailleur battery.

Details that make the difference: Protection and Warranty

Built to last, the Dreadnought E includes custom protections for the chainstay, down tube, and motor cover, plus the RideWrap kit factory-installed in critical areas. With IP66 certification for the entire electric system and a lifetime warranty on the frame, your only concern will be choosing which trail to tackle first.

The new queen of electric Enduro

If you are looking for an e-MTB that knows no limits, capable of tackling the toughest bike parks and the steepest climbs with the same ease, the Forbidden Dreadnought E is your choice. More travel, more torque, more Forbidden. Are you ready to hit harder?
