Nearby trail system and your favorite trails?
Squamish and the North Shore are my local trail systems. My favourite type of trails are anything with loam, or in the Chilcotins.
What do you ride (type of terrain)?
A little bit of everything! I prefer natural trails- loamy, rooty and anything with rockrolls. I also really love fast singletrack, and big backcountry days.
What model and colour?
Warden MX, with 1/1 paint- custom powder blue paint with sage green logos that I chose for this special bike build.
How tall are you? What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?
I am 5’9” and got Medium/S3. It fits me perfectly.
What's your full bike spec?
XT drivetrain
Fox 38 factory 170 fork
Fox X2 shock
Chromag bar/stem/saddle
DT Swiss M1900 wheels (mullet)
What other custom touches did you do?
The bar and stem were custom from Chromag. Other than the paint, I got custom Realtree Camo fox decals for the fork and shock.
What do you love about your new bike?
The Knolly Warden is my do-everything bike! I have taken it into the bike park and on big backcountry days, and it performs amazingly in both. It's really stable, but also playful! It can eat through anything I throw at it, and doesn't hold back. I also love how my build and paint turned out!
