Thunderbird FR 2026 – Built for Big Sends! | Natalia Budner Bikecheck
New season, new gear, same desert energy 🔥🔥🔥
Natalia is back on the spot with her brand-new Dartmoor Thunderbird FR 2026.
In this episode, she shows off her new freeride machine and explains why she chose this specific setup.
We talk about:
-
What’s new in the 2026 version?
-
How the dual crown fork setup changes the ride,
-
Why Natalia picked specific components and geometry,
-
The real differences between freeride and downhill,
-
and how to choose a bike that fits your riding style — not the other way around.
This isn’t just another bike check — it’s an honest conversation about how a rider who mixes freeride, coaching, and progression in the desert really chooses her setup. 🏜️💪
