Review: The Forbidden Dreadnought V2 Has a Need for Speed

@bigbrett: Dread shock tune is a bit weird which is certainly solvable but I had other bikes and was moving at the time so I had limited time to puzzle. Additionally to really gel with high pivot bikes I think one needs to ride them all the time to get used to the growing rear center while cornering. That's a unique sensation and it can be amazing for grip but it's very different. The new Yeti LT looks rad too and it would be on my list now.

Review: The Forbidden Dreadnought V2 Has a Need for Speed

@bigbrett: Kept the Spire, rode it the next season with some upgrades most notable a one degree angleset that I used to make the Spire steeper and then set it in low mode. Was very good that way and is still one of all time bikes. Didn't end up buying the Frameworks the 2025 but bought one for this year 2026. The Frameworks is amazing and I've never felt as comfortable going fast, jumping, trying hard lines or riding steeps as on the Frameworks. Geometry on it is perfect. Happy to answer other questions if you have them.

Yeah rough. Illustrates though that nothing replicates race situations like racing. Hopefully he bounces back quickly.

I'm surprised that WB isn't putting together a highlight package of qualifying. I know it's using the F1 comparison again, but on race weekends often the qualifying highlights are just as compelling as the actual race.

Stoked for the dude as well. Seems like most of his bad luck was due to injury. Pretty cool story this year to follow along with him having tried and evaluated so many different frames and creating his own program.

Bike Check: The Most Dominant Race Bike of 2026 - Jonty Williamson's Yeti Special Projects DH

@11six: Yeah I saw that. Personally I don't think gluing tires would mean you can run lower pressures it's just more of a guarantee against burping a tire and that the tire will stay on if you get a slow leak. Running an insert would mean that you could run somewhat lower tire pressure though so there is that and he's running inserts F&R.

What's Jonty's height and weight? Pretty low tire pressures for his pace. Love these WCDH bike checks, keep 'em coming!
