+3532840609Built from the same all-carbon chassis seen throughout the range, but in a more wallet-friendly configuration, the no-compromise Dreadnought SLX packs enough firepower to pummel the opposition into retreat. Upfront, the 170mm travel, Charger 2.1 equipped RockShox Zeb Select + fork is paired to perfection by a custom-tuned Fox X2 shock. The suspension is amplified further by the Trifecta system, decimating square edge hits for breakfast, all thanks to its 100% rearward wheel path, while simultaneously eliminating unwanted drivetrain forces with ease. Delivering a consistent ride experience across the size spectrum and an unrivalled level of balance and composure, our One Ride geometry helps to differentiate the Dreadnought even further from the competition. A bike that likes to play, but not by the rules, the Dreadnought SLX thrives in environments once the reserve of downhill thoroughbreds.
Taking our proven High Pivot Trifecta suspension system and One Ride geometry and turning it up to eleven, the 154mm travel Dreadnought represents a bike for the risk-takers and senders out there. Boasting an unmatched and unrivalled level of composure and balance, boosted further by the slack 63.5-degree head angle and proportional rear centres, that grow 14mm per-size, our industry-leading One Ride geometry also delivers a consistent ride experience across the size spectrum. Confident in the face of adversity, the Dreadnought is a bike quite unlike any other before it. Ziggy Link compatible, dual crown ready and open to interpretation, dream building a Dreadnought knows no bounds and neither does it.
The Forbidden Dreadnought is BIGGER, BURLIER AND READY FOR ANYTHING, THIS MOUNTAIN TAMING BRUISER OF A BICYCLE KNOWS NO BOUND, AND NEITHER WILL YOU. EXPANDING OUR CATEGORY DEFYING HIGH PIVOT DESIGN FROM THE DRUID AND APPLYING IT TO A PLATFORM FOR THE EXTREMES. A DH BIKE IN ALL BUT THE SMALL PRINT, READY FOR THE ROWDIEST BACK-COUNTRY LINES, THE STEEPEST RACE STAGES AND THE SHADIEST GAPS IN THE BIKE PARK. BRING THE BIG GUNS, BRING THE DREADNOUGHT AND FEAR NOTHING.
