What do you ride (type of terrain)?
I ride everything from dirt jumps to downhill trails!
What's the intended use for your new bike?
I do it all! Long days in the bike park, chill laps at the dirt jumps or even a casual ride down the road to a mate's place!
What model and colour?
Knolly Warden Medium Full 27.5 Orange fade to black
How tall are you?
6,0ft
What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?
I got the medium frame. I love the reach for my body and how I fit the bike. My pedal position feels good and the bike is extremely stable at speeds. It has a longer wheelbase than most of the bikes I've ridden but it’s still manageable for tricks and the benefit of stability is nice to have!
Why did you choose the Warden?
It’s a full 27.5 option with 170mm of travel. It’s the perfect freeride bike.
