The Forbidden Dreadnought E T2 redefines the standards of carbon enduro eMTB: a full High Modulus frame with High Pivot Trifecta V3 kinematics, powered by the Avinox M2S motor (130 Nm / 1300 W), paired with Fox Factory suspensions (170/180 mm) and a wireless SRAM GX T-Type AXS drivetrain. A pure descending machine, designed to devour the most technical singletrack and the most committed bike parks, with DH-inspired geometry and a contained weight of 23.11 kg (800 Wh battery).

High Pivot Enduro Architecture — The Canadian brutalist

The Dreadnought E T2 is built on a full High Modulus carbon frame integrating the Avinox M2S platform. The Trifecta V3 High Pivot Horst Link kinematics with carbon rocker link drives a Fox Float X2 Factory 230x65 mm shock (8x30 mm at both eyelets), delivering 170 mm of progressive rear travel coupled with a Fox 38 Factory 180 mm fork. The High Pivot system integrates an 18-tooth steel guide pulley on Enduro solid lube bearings to minimize pedal kickback and maximize fluidity on rough terrain. Lifetime warranty on the carbon frame.

Avinox M2S Motor — Maximum power, minimal weight

• Torque and peak power: The Avinox M2S motor delivers 130 Nm continuous and 150 Nm in Boost mode (60 seconds), with a peak power of 1300 W (1500 W in Boost according to some sources). Motor weight: 2.6 kg.
• Integrated 800 Wh battery: Avinox Li-ion battery integrated into the frame, fast charging (0-75% in 1h30), with 2-inch OLED touchscreen integrated into the top tube and 65 W USB-C output to power lights or smartphones.
• Customizable assist modes: Eco, Auto (multi-sensor fusion), Trail, Turbo, Boost — all configurable via the Avinox Ride app. Multi-sensor IMU, intelligent traction control, barometer, compass and ambient light sensor built in.
• 600 Wh battery option: Available to reduce weight to ~23.43 kg and favor maneuverability on short rides.

Fox Factory Suspensions — Surgical precision in descending mode

The Fox 38 Factory Grip X2 (180 mm) and Fox Float X2 Air Factory suspensions represent the pinnacle of Fox's enduro range: extensive adjustments (high and low-speed compression, rebound), optimized linearity for repeated impacts, and capacity to handle the most brutal bike parks. The Dreadnought E's progressive kinematics fully exploits the X2's large air volumes.

Drivetrain and braking — SRAM wireless and absolute power

• SRAM GX T-Type AXS: 12-speed wireless electronic rear derailleur, Hangerless Interface system (no derailleur hanger), Overload clutch and replaceable protection plates. Control via SRAM POD Rocker AXS integrated into the handlebar — powered by the bike's battery.
• SRAM Maven Silver: 4-piston brakes with Centerline 200 mm rotors front/rear, offering consistent braking power without fade on prolonged descents.

MX rolling platform and DH-inspired geometry

• Crankbrothers Synthesis Alloy 2.0 wheels: Exclusive MX Mullet configuration (29 inches front / 27.5 inches rear), 30 mm inner-width aluminum rims, Ratchet hubs, tubeless ready mounting.
• Maxxis Enduro tires: High Roller III 2.40 (front) and Minion DHR II 2.50 (rear) in DH Casing EXO+ to withstand the most violent impacts.
• One Ride geometry: 63° head angle, high stack (635-682 mm by size), short to moderate reach (425-481 mm), proportionally long chainstays (434-478 mm) that lengthen with size to maintain a constant front/rear center balance. Centered, upright and relaxed riding position, inspired by the Supernought DH.
• 150 mm short cranks: On all sizes to maximize ground clearance (BB height 340.8 mm, BB drop -20 mm) and favor a squared stance facing the terrain.

Equipment and finishes — Ready to ride

The T2 is delivered with RideWrap protection pre-installed from the factory (chainstays, seatstays, down tube, motor guard), Fidlock bottle cage included on the down tube (all sizes), accessory mount on top tube. OneUp Alloy 800 mm handlebar (20 or 35 mm rise by size), OneUp 42 mm stem, Forbidden grips, TranzX 31.6 mm dropper post (variable travel by size S1 to S4: 150 to 240 mm).

Available variants

• Dreadnought E T2 — 600 Wh Battery: Reduced weight (~23.43 kg max) to favor maneuverability and short to medium rides. Identical configuration (Fox Factory, GX AXS, Maven Silver, Synthesis Alloy 2.0 wheels).
• Dreadnought E T2 — 800 Wh Battery: Maximum autonomy for long sessions and intensive bike park days. Weight 23.11 kg (tested S3 size). Complete configuration as specified.

For whom, for what?

The Forbidden Dreadnought E T2 is aimed at committed enduro and all-mountain riders, seeking an eMTB capable of rivaling a DH bike on descents while offering effortless climbing. Ideal for bike parks, steep and technical natural enduro trails, rough high-speed singletrack, and any terrain where composure, power and travel reserve make the difference. The T2 represents the best performance/price compromise in the Dreadnought E range, with Fox Factory suspensions and the high-end M2S motor, at a lower price than the T1 (which receives carbon wheels).
