Already one of the most hard hitting Enduro bikes out there, tested on everything from the World Cup DH circuit to the Enduro World Series, the V1 Dreadnought was a well established classic.
The new V2 overhauls and refines every aspect of the design. Suspension switches to a Horst link platform to improve rear end performance in the rough and under braking. An improved idler and chain wrap increases pedal efficiency and tweaked geometry improves balance and handling even further. Add to that extra front and rear travel and the V2 is a bike ready to take on almost anything - it's even compatible with dual crown forks for bike park or DH builds.
