Forbidden Dreadnought E T4

The Forbidden Dreadnought E T4 brings Forbidden's gravity-focused Dreadnought platform together with the powerful and lightweight DJI Avinox drive system.

Built for riders who prioritise descending performance, technical terrain and big days on the bike, the Dreadnought E combines Forbidden's distinctive high-pivot suspension design with a full-power eMTB system capable of delivering up to 1,000W and 120Nm in Boost Mode.

The T4 is the entry point into the Dreadnought E range, delivering the same carbon chassis, suspension platform and Avinox motor system as the higher-tier models with a more accessible component package.

DJI Avinox – Full Power Without the Bulk

At the heart of the Dreadnought E is the DJI Avinox M1 motor, weighing approximately 2.5kg while producing up to 105Nm of continuous torque.

Engage Boost Mode and output increases temporarily to 120Nm and 1,000W, providing serious assistance for steep climbs and technical sections.

The Avinox system also brings a polished electronic interface, multiple assistance modes, wireless handlebar controls and a compact colour touchscreen display.

Forbidden High-Pivot Suspension

The Dreadnought E isn't simply an e-bike built around a powerful motor.

Forbidden's high-pivot suspension platform is designed to maintain composure when riding fast through rough terrain, allowing the rear wheel to move rearward as the suspension compresses.

The result is excellent traction and stability through square-edge impacts, braking bumps and technical terrain – exactly where a long-travel eMTB needs to perform.

An idler manages chain growth associated with the high-pivot layout while helping separate drivetrain forces from suspension movement.

Built to Descend

The Dreadnought E is unapologetically gravity focused.

Its long-travel chassis, aggressive geometry and high-pivot suspension make it a bike for riders who want to use the Avinox system to access more descending rather than simply make casual trail riding easier.

The motor gets you back up efficiently. The Dreadnought chassis is there for what happens on the way down.

Why Choose the T4?

The T4 gives you the core technology that defines the Dreadnought E – carbon frame, Forbidden suspension platform and DJI Avinox power – without paying for the premium component packages of the T1, T2 and T3.

That also makes it an excellent platform for riders who prefer to upgrade components over time or already have specific suspension, wheels or cockpit components in mind.

Avinox Experience at CB Cycles

CB Cycles has extensive first-hand experience with the DJI Avinox platform, both through the bikes we sell and ride ourselves.

We can help with bike setup, Avinox operation, servicing, firmware and replacement parts rather than simply handing over a new e-bike.
