Key Quotes
You’ll never mistake the Fugitive LT for anything but a shredder.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
It rides with the confidence of something much burlier and the low-slung, well-centred ride position urges you on to let loose and hammer into turns.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
It may look like a heavy-duty rig, but the Fugitive LT offers a surprisingly nimble, playful ride.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
The Fugitive LT’s outstanding suspension makes for a bike that keeps you in control over rough trails while still being lively and fun on smoother sections.
Canadian Cycling Magazine logoCanadian Cycling Magazine

Knolly Fugitive LT review

Jun 2020 · Ed Thomsett

A fun-loving, aggressive 29er that has its compromises but makes up for them in other areas

Highs
  • Great frame geometry for descending

  • The FOURby4 suspension eats up bumps and keeps the bike planted

  • Frame details are well thought out and should help longevity

Lows
  • A higher progression rate would help the bike maintain shape on bigger impacts

  • Seat angle is a little slack

  • Not the prettiest

Bike Review | Knolly Fugitive LT

Feb 2020

On first inspection, the combination of the Fugitive LT’s build and mid-length travel might seem a little off. However, once things get moving, the bike’s feedback puts everything into perspective. The Code R brakes and Fox 36 allude to the bike's charging capabilities, while the 135mm of rear travel and Fourby4 linkage deliver a lively and responsive interpretation of the trail. With an uncanny ability to carry speed, a low bottom bracket that provides stability in the corners and consistently reactive ride feedback, the Fugitive LT is the epitome of less is more.

Review: 2019 Knolly Fugitive LT - A Tough, Versatile 29er

May 2019 · Mike Levy

It's a lot of fork for the Fugitive, and I'd probably go with less travel up front if I spec'd my version of the bike, but it was also appreciated here in Squamish where things are steep and steeper.

Highs
  • Extremely stout-feeling bike

  • Active suspension means comfort and traction

  • More agile than an all-mountain bike, more solid than a trail bike

Lows
  • A bit of calf rub on the suspension linkage

  • Active suspension means that you might use the pedal assist

  • On the heavy side for a 135mm bike.
