NEW Forbidden Dreadnought V2 | Longer & Faster, But Is It Better?

Longer, faster, more efficient. We spent two days with @forbiddenbikeco getting to know the new Dreadnought V2. Key updates to the seminal high-pivot idler enduro bike are that it’s now a genuine 160mm bike, it uses an inverted 4-bar suspension layout and the same frame can be adapted for full 29in or MX wheels using interchangeable dropouts. There’s so much more going on with this bike though, so we go deep on the details in this first ride video.
