The Knolly Fugitive 140 offers a plush ride downhill, and uphill too [Review]

Oct 2024 · Sam James

The new Knolly Fugitive blends mid-travel and a solid build spec for all-around trail bike fun, but how does it perform?

Highs
  • Fits long-travel droppers

  • Pivots now use bearings throughout

  • Plush/supple suspension

  • Decent spec package for the money

Lows
  • Climbs like an enduro bike, descends like a trail bike

  • Not as refined as other high-performance trail bikes

  • Front triangle lacks proper room for bottle and tool mount

  • Magura brakes are hard to set up and lack power

  • Efficient, rewarding pedaler

  • Highly capable for its travel and geometry

  • Unique combination of stability and maneuverability

Lows
  • Not cheap for an aluminum bike

  • Not as supple as other bikes around 140mm of travel
