2026 Forbidden Dreadnought E 4

The Forbidden Dreadnought E is the electrified evolution of Forbidden’s most capable high-pivot enduro platform — built from the ground up as a full-power e-MTB that climbs with intent and descends with composed, no-nonsense aggression. The T4 is the entry point into the range that doesn’t compromise on the things that matter most.

Avinox M2 drive system

The T4 is powered by the Avinox M2 motor — 110Nm of continuous torque (125Nm in Boost) and 1,100W of peak power — paired with an 800Wh integrated battery. Delivery across ECO, TRAIL, TURBO and BOOST is smooth and natural, like a direct extension of your own effort, with no unwanted motor kick.

Trifecta high-pivot suspension

The Trifecta V3 high-pivot four-bar platform delivers 170mm of rear travel paired with a 180mm RockShox ZEB fork. The rearward axle path ploughs through rock gardens and roots with confidence, while still offering the pop and support to generate speed and get airborne. A RockShox Super Deluxe handles the rear.

DH-focused geometry & OneRide sizing

Slack head angles, a tall front end and short 150mm cranks put you centred, upright and in control on steep, consequential terrain. Forbidden’s OneRide proportional sizing scales each size (S1–S4) independently, so handling stays consistent across the range.

Mullet wheels

The Dreadnought E runs a mullet configuration — 29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear — for more influence over the chassis and easier direction changes, with the rollover of a bigger front wheel. Maxxis High Roller 3 (29×2.4) up front and DHRII (27.5×2.5) rear, both in 3C MaxxGrip DH casing, with a TranzX dropper post in the cockpit.

Carbon frame, fully protected

The high-modulus carbon frame ships with factory RideWrap and a full suite of in-house frame and motor protection — chainstay, seatstay, downtube and motor guard. Every size fits a full 26oz bottle, and the frame is backed by Forbidden’s lifetime carbon warranty.
