Rhys Verner and Alex Storr's Custom Forbidden Dreadnoughts for Trophy of Nations

Forbidden Synthesis team riders Rhys Verner and Alex Storr will be representing Team Canada and Team Great Britain respectively, at the prestigious Enduro Trophy of Nations this coming weekend. The event, taking place in the “spiritual home of enduro”, Finale Ligure, Italy, is the pinnacle of the sport and we felt that our riders deserved something special to mark their selection to participate.

For Rhys' Canada-themed Dreadnought, we went for a classic candy red with subtle maple leaf details and white decals. 

For Team GB's Alex Storr, British Racing Green with gold decals was a logical aesthetic direction.

Thanks to the team's partners, the bikes are both kitted out with the best parts from; Crankbrothers, SRAM, RockShox, Maxxis, Burgtec, RideWrap, CushCore, Chris King, Fizik and MRP with bike care provided by Maxima USA. We can't wait to see these bikes in action, October 1-2nd, and wish the crew luck for their last international enduro event of the 2022 season.
