Forbidden Dreadnought GX AXS 29 - Matte Black

Brand:Forbidden

Code:23FDN23GXTTMB

Bring the big guns and fear nothing.

Whether you’re lined up for the start line or in line to shred your local trails, you’ll be equipped to blast any jump line, rock garden, and rut track in your path aboard the Dreadnought GX AXS.

The latest Dreadnought build spec features SRAM’s newest addition to the T-Type family. The new GX AXS delivers its famous no-compromise, budget-minded focus to Eagle Transmission. The Dreadnought GX AXS is suspended by the trusty RockShox Zebb Select + and Super Deluxe Ultimate shock. Stopping duty is handled by the new Code Silver Stealth. Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels and Maxxis tires round out this incredibly capable bike. The only thing the Dreadnought GX AXS needs is a pilot ready to feed it a non-stop diet of rough and rowdy terrain.

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, the 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.

HIGH PIVOT WITCHCRAFT

The most obvious feature of the Forbidden Bikes Trifecta suspension system is the high pivot point and the resulting rearward axle path it produces. Unlike some other frame designs that talk of a rearward portion of their axle path, the height of our main pivot within the frame structure means our axle path takes a completely rearward trajectory throughout its travel. This rearward motion allows the rear wheel to move with, not against, any size of impact. This, in turn, allows the bike to remain composed and maintain momentum through rough terrain.
