Our test winner’s

FORBIDDEN DREADNOUGHT GX

£6,699

The Dreadnought GX now comes stock with the Ziggy-link fitted. This MX build shares the same full carbon frame and Fox Performance Elite suspension components as our test winner, but runs a SRAM GX drivetrain and SRAM Code RSC brakes instead of Shimano XT. The combination of the Ziggy-link and smaller 27.5in rear wheel tweaks the geometry too, reducing the head angle by almost half a degree and lowering the BB height by 6mm. Shorter riders have never had it so good!
