The look of the Canadian brand’s frames may divide opinion but it’s the ride we care about. Its new UK importer means riders on both sides of the Atlantic should now be able to get a sample more readily than before.
Eye-catching setup
There’s no getting away from Knolly’s eye-catching Fourby4 suspension system. With so many pivots involved in this dual-linkage design, Knolly's designers have done their best to ensure lengthy maintenance intervals by using angular-contact cartridge bearings on all the main pivots and Igus bushings in lower-stress locations.

Knolly’s dual-linkage Fourby4 design is all about maximum traction
The traction-focused 150mm (5.9in) of rear travel is controlled via a Cane Creek DBInline shock, with low- and high-speed compression and rebound damping and its effective Climb Switch. Twin bolt holes on the lower shock mount let you alter the head angle by a degree and BB height by 8mm.
