David Golay Mountain Bike Review on the Forbidden Dreadnought for Blister

2021 Forbidden Dreadnought

June 20, 2022August 26, 2021 by David Golay

April 20, 2021April 20, 2021 by David Golay

We’ve been testing this aluminum Enduro race bike and think it delivers on what the brand claims about it — for the right types of riders. Check out our full review for all the details.

November 14, 2019October 6, 2019 by Noah Bodman
