Chad Hendren’s Forbidden Supernought

With bike park season finally here, this Forbidden Supernought is a true dream build for me! Watching things come together, I’m actually a bit speechless. I built this bike up with all of my preferred components and brands, and I can’t wait to get out onto the steeps of both the bike park and our raw, local trails with it.
