Bike park and fast chunky trails.

What model and colour?

Warden RAW

How tall are you? What size frame did you get? 

I'm 5’11’’ and chose the S4/large frame, with a short stem. It fits just right.

Why did you choose this model of bike? 

I’d ridden the Chilcotin before, but I knew I wanted a mullet setup. I love the added playfulness and agility it brings to the ride. I chose the Knolly Warden because I wanted a bike that keeps that fun, lively feel while still being fully capable of handling big days and bike park laps with confidence.

What's your full bike spec?

  • Stem length (LEATT 33mm)

  • Bar width (PNW 790mm)

  • Dropper length? (PNW loam 220mm) dropped 3/4in from  the collar.

  • Crank length? (sram eagle 90 170mm)

  • What chainring tooth count (t-type 30T)

  • What rear cassette tooth count (eagle90 10-52)

What other custom touches did you do?

  • Tire combo (schwalbe albert radial)

  • Grips - why did you choose those? ( rev grips for the shock absorption)

  • Brakes - why did you choose those ( hope tech4 V4 for the incredible feel and power)

  • Ohlins RXF38 fork
