Flat out speed isn't the Warden's forte, but it excels in the steeps and in softer terrain.
Confidence in steep and tech lines
All-day and all-trail ability
Fun, maneuverable and calm character
Not the best option for flat out and rough terrain
Geometry and sizing quirks to be aware of
Cable routing, protection and pivot details need attention
Nov 2020
Knolly has a new series of bikes out. I've been out on the Warden LT, and here to report on what it's like.
Steep seat tube angle for climbing
Stable climbing position with front wheel planted
Reasonable climbing efficiency for a 170mm travel bike
Playful and agile handling
Stiff aluminium frame
Quality build kit with Fox suspension and Shimano XT drivetrain
Good climbing capability with 30-tooth chain ring
Undersized EXO+ MaxxTerra tires prone to flats
Tire compound too hard for wet roots and rocks
Noisy bike (seatpost creaks, cable rattle, front end creaking)
Seatpost rotation issues
Left crank fell off
Short rear center makes bike nervous at high speed
Geometry feels dated for 2020
Suspension not progressive enough, bottoms out frequently
Bushing friction in linkage
Derailleur exploded due to 157mm rear end width
Cockpit feels smaller than reach suggests

Knolly's Warden LT makes short work of rough terrain, but it's not just a big softie. It also has a supportive side that encourages you to earn your turns!
Feb 2020
The Knolly Warden blends smart engineering and progressive design into a ride that's predictably stable, yet unexpectedly agile when you want to get loose.
