Unparalleled Versatility

The Dreadnought redefined what a high pivot bike can do—pushing boundaries and shattering expectations. Built to handle the brutal demands of World Cup Downhill, thrive in the chaos of enduro racing, and take endless laps at the bike park without breaking a sweat, it’s a machine that never backs down. Whether you're chasing podiums, sending big lines, or doing it all in one weekend, the Dreadnought delivers unmatched versatility and performance across the board.

V2

The Dreadnought enters its next chapter with V2—evolved, refined, and more capable than ever. Building on its reputation as a powerhouse, V2 introduces our next-generation suspension system, borrowed from the acclaimed Druid and Supernought, and reengineered to suit this hard-hitting platform. But this isn’t just a bump in travel or a few new features—it’s a complete rework. Every detail has been reconsidered to sharpen its focus and elevate the ride. The result? A bike that’s more composed, more capable, and more thrilling—no matter how far you’re pushing the limits.
