What other custom touches did you do?
Tire combo: I am running the Maxxis Assegai Double Down tires up front and the Dissector DH casing in the rear. This combo has been my go to setup for the last two seasons and I am love it! It rolls faster by using a Dissector in the rear but it still has lots of grip with the Assegai up front.
Grips: Sensus Disisdaboss. I have been using these grips for almost last 6-7 years.
Brakes: I am running SRAM Mavens and I am beyond impressed with this product. It has an insane amount of stopping power and is still one of the most controllable brakes.
What do you love about your new bike?
I’m absolutely stoked on my new Knolly Warden! It handles everything—from jumps and singletrack to technical terrain—with confidence, and the way it corners is next-level.
