The established climbing machine elevates its well-rounded abilities with key updates that improve descending abilities.
Increased reach and wheelbase improves composure and stability descending
FOX suspension provides bottomless ride for aggressive riding
Incredibly planted and efficient pedaling platform
Low bottom bracket leads to many pedal strikes
29x2.3 Maxxis tires are too narrow for rowdy descents
Lacks playful, trail bike demeanor

The Knolly Fugitive combines eager pedaling with a ruthless appetite for speed. It’s never too much, or too little bike for the occasion.
Efficient, rewarding pedaler
Highly capable for its travel and geometry
Unique combination of stability and maneuverability
Not cheap for an aluminum bike
Not as supple as other bikes around 140mm of travel

Knolly Bikes revises their Fugitive for 2021, updating the frame geometry and adding a few extra millimeters of rear travel.
Apr 2021 · Seb Stott
The Fugitive now has 138mm of rear travel and a .5-degree slacker head angle.
Jun 2020 · Ed Thomsett
A fun-loving, aggressive 29er that has its compromises but makes up for them in other areas
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
A higher progression rate would help the bike maintain shape on bigger impacts
Seat angle is a little slack
Not the prettiest

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.

Feb 2019
This bike hits above its travel, climbs as well as it descends and is comfortable in nearly any situation.
