Knolly's new Warden 170 MX is a slack, long-travel, MX wheeled beast built for freeride or downhill destruction!
Jun 2024 · Knolly Bikes
Similar to all of our recent releases, the Warden boasts the highly praised updated straight top tube design, is kitted out with Enduro bearings on all pivots, and features a unified rocker link to stiffen up the rear end..

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
