DESCRIPTION

Dreadnought forged a new path for performance high pivot bikes and cemented the platform’s category-defying nature. It dealt handily with the demands of the World Cup Downhill circuit, revelled in the rigours of enduro racing, and endured lap after lap of abuse in the bike park, while still craving more. From the race track to the bike park and everything in between, Dreadnought has proven its unparalleled versatility.

Now it’s time for the big guns to get the V2 treatment. Dreadnought V2 carries the torch forward into a new realm of capability, giving riders even more firepower than ever before. We’ve taken our next-gen suspension system, seen on the class-leading Druid and Supernought, and applied it to our revered brawler of a bike. We didn’t just up the calibre, add more travel, and call it good. We overhauled every detail to refine and distill its purpose into something that exhilarates.

From the helm of the Dreadnought, you see no obstacles, only opportunities.

Fear Nothing.

FEATURES

 
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.

 
Hardware

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

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

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.

 
Water Bottle Fitment

Even our smallest Dreadnought frame size can fit a full-size 26oz water bottle. Remember, hydration is your friend, but sweaty backs most definitely are not.

 
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.

 
Accessory Mount

The ‘under the top tube’ mounting screws allow for the attachment of various accessory mounting solutions; pump, tools, a banana, the kitchen sink, go crazy, just don’t hang a water bottle there, please.

 
Sensible Standards

Threaded BB, Boost rear wheel spacing, press in headset cups – we only use what makes sense from a design and durability standpoint. You won’t find any questionable trends here – looking at you headset cable routing.
