Finally, the big cat is completely out of the bag. It’s been a while since our prototype DH bike was first spotted on the WC stage under Connor Fearon. Since then we’ve been honing every detail and specification to ensure this bike is comprised purely of the material needed to deliver a fighter jet of a downhill mountain bike. There is no filler here, folks. This bike is designed and built for a single purpose: Get you down the hill faster. So, what happens when you ride a bike with the industry’s most refined high pivot design equipped with 205mm of rear wheel travel? You remain composed and comfortable across the knottiest root balls and rowdiest rock gardens. You develop a new penchant for committing to corner speeds and line choices that old-you would never dream of. You go in over your head and get out with a shit-eating grin. You get a DH bike with zero compromises.You get the Supernought. AVAILABLE COLOURWAY:Volume 4AVAILABLE IN FRAMESET (ONLY) & 1 BUILD:Supernought Frameset (Only) - RRP $6,999.95Supernought Build 1 XO - RRP $14,499.95 INTENDED USEDownhill SUSPENSION 205mm Rear - 200mm Front WHEELSIZEFull 29” or Mixed (MX)   Things you should know// V2 FRAME LAYOUT The V2 Trifecta Platform allows us to fine tune kinematics for each bike. Our Factory Team wanted more sensitivity and grip. So we delivered a DH optimized leverage curve and braking characteristics. The end result is a bike that begs you to stay off the brakes a little longer and remains completely composed when the anchors are dropped. LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY We stand behind the products we make. That’s why all our bikes are backed by the Forbidden Limited Lifetime Frame Warranty. HARDWARE The bearing-in-rocker design of our new forged 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, is a no-brainer. IDLER PULLEY SYSTEM The Supernought sports an 18-tooth steel idler equipped with a solid lube bearing out of the box. The optimized tooth profile and our next-gen Race Guide are built to last and limit chain drop. MODULAR DROP OUTS Straight from the World Cup pits. By using modular dropouts we’ve added another level of performance tuning to your ride. Dropouts are easily swapped for different wheel sizes as well as meaningful geometry and weight bias adjustments. 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. CABLE ROUTING The rear brake line is routed externally for quick and easy removal, servicing, and replacement. Derailleur cable and housing are cleverly secured by the bump stop on the head tube and a clamping cable port at the seatstay to eliminate rattling. SENSIBLE STANDARDS Threaded 83mm BB, 148mm boost rear wheel spacing optimized for DH cassettes, press-in headset cups – we only use what makes sense from a design and durability standpoint.  

  Druid is the modern wolf in sheep’s clothing. Its high pivot Trifecta suspension platform defies logic. Simultaneously generating predictable traction and playful pop while offering an otherworldly ability to devour chunky terrain. With geometry that effortlessly balances stability and agility, the Druid is a trail bike through and through. This bike is equally at home hammering out trail rides after work, ripping weekend shuttle laps, and crushing epic alpine traverses. This humble (on paper) trail bike boasts on-trail characteristics that don’t just punch above their class they defy classification altogether. A bike that delivers pedal-all-day efficiency when you want it and tech-descent-tackling confidence when you need it. A short travel trail bike by definition but a kilometer-crushing, chunder-devouring, fun machine by any other description.AVAILABLE COLOURWAYS:Spruce Almighty | Stardust | Dr Greenthumb | Lilac Summer DazeAVAILABLE IN FRAMESET (ONLY) & 4 BUILDS:Spruce Almighty | Stardust Druid Frameset (Only) - RRP $6,299.95Dr Greenthumb | Lilac Summer Daze Druid Frameset (Only) - RRP $6,699.95Spruce Almighty | Stardust Druid Build 3 GX - RRP $10,899.95Dr Greenthumb | Lilac Summer Daze Druid Build 3 GX S - RRP $11,299.95Dr Greenthumb | Lilac Summer Daze Druid Build 2 GX S+ - RRP $12,799.95Dr Greenthumb | Lilac Summer Daze Druid Build 1 XO - RRP $16,199.95  INTENDED USEAll Mountain SUSPENSION130mm Rear - 150mm Front WHEELSIZEFull 29” or Mixed (MX)   Things you should know// V2 FRAME LAYOUT The second iteration of Druid sees a shift to an inverted four-bar suspension design.

Our new idler, along with its modular mounting system is compatible and optimized for use with both 52mm and 55mm chain lines.

CABLE ROUTING We don’t discriminate against rightys or leftys and our adaptable cable routing allows you to neatly route the Druid’s 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 is the inclusion of clamping hose/cable ports on the rear triangle. This ensures no unwanted movement anywhere along the frame.

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.AVAILABLE COLOURWAYS:Bloody Sabbath | Fatty TAVAILABLE IN FRAMESET (ONLY) & 3 BUILDS:Dreadnought Frameset (Only) - RRP $7,299.95Dreadnought Build 3 GX S - RRP $11,999.95Dreadnought Build 2 GX S+ - RRP $13,499.95Dreadnought Build 1 XO - RRP $16,999.95   INTENDED USE Enduro / Bikepark SUSPENSION 160mm Rear / 170mm Front WHEEL SIZE Full 29er or Mixed (MX)   Things you should know// V2 TRIFECTA LAYOUT Dreadnought now sports an inverted four-bar suspension design.
