Dreadnought is our brawler refined, but it’s never been a one-track mind. Same category defying intent, sharpened in the details that make it work everywhere. It is the bike you can pedal to the top, point into the rough, and still be smiling when the day turns into “one more lap.”
At the heart of it is our V2 Trifecta suspension system, the same design approach proven on Druid and Supernought, tuned for Dreadnought’s all-around mission. This is not a “more travel” story. It is a ride feel story. More traction when the trail gets loose, more support when you are pushing, and more composure when the speed climbs, whether you are racing enduro, riding park laps, or hunting big mountain lines.
From the cockpit of Dreadnought, you stop seeing obstacles and start seeing options. Go further. Ride faster. Choose the harder line.
Fear Nothing.

Trifecta V2 Platform
Dreadnought now sports an inverted four-bar suspension design. This evolution was necessitated by our desire to retain the ride characteristics of the original Dreadnought while optimizing certain ride characteristics. At the same time, we bring Dreadnought in line with our S-sizing.

The bearing-in-rocker design of our new forged V2 Rate Control Linkage allows us to use locking collet axles and oversized bearings for easy maintenance and dependability. This option isn’t the lightest but trading a few grams for a long-lasting, easily serviced linkage, was the practical choice.

Modular Dropouts
Modular Dropouts
Wheel size configuration changes are achieved via modular dropouts. Meaningful geometry and weight bias adjustments are also be made via 27.5” +10mm, 27.5” -10mm, and 29” +10mm dropouts. Giving riders the option to customize weight bias and handling characteristics to suit riding style or terrain type. 200mm direct brake mount included as standard. Framekits are sold with MX and 29” dropouts.

Cable Routing
Cable Routing
Our adaptable cable routing allows you to neatly route the cables and hoses no matter where in the world you come from or with what hand you operate your rear brake with. New for V2 bikes is the inclusion of clamping hose/cable ports on the rear triangle. This ensures no unwanted movement anywhere along the frame.

Frame Protection
A quiet bike is a fast bike and a clean bike is less prone to problems, so we developed a full suite of custom frame protection to keep the noisy bits quiet and the hard to clean bits free from crud.
