2014 Knolly Warden - Aquaman™ - strarzaq's Bike Check

Fresh out of the shop - 2014 Knolly's 650b Enduro ride, the Warden

SRAM's XO1 drivetrain - foolproof design

Wolf Tooth Components N/W Chainring - it does not get much better than that

Cane Creek's Terminator of suspension designs - the Double Barrel Air now with Climb Switch technology altering both rebound AND compression damping characteristics for the climbs

Joystick's Analog Carbon DH - 800mm of lighweight durability. BC proven!

Control center - only one shifter and dropper post lever - that is all you need today

Knolly's Four by 4 design gets better and better! Titanium hardware and replaceable treads plus some sweet 3D CNC work there.

This is the view you will admire - Straitline AMP pedals keep you glued to your bike while being pretty darn light.

Cane Creek 40 headset - that is our weapon of choice for every build. The more picky clients go for CC's fancy 110 model.

Knolly Warden is compatible with internally routed dropper posts like KS Integra - installation is super easy!

This season's must-have: RockShox's PIKE fork with RCT3 damper. And our baby - Industry Nine Torch hub!

I9 Torch also in the rear! It looks pretty amazing with SRAM's black coated XO1 cassette

Hello darkness my old friend...

Knolly's day glow green coat literally glows in the dark - here we used some UV light to take the word "vivid" to a new level!

Additional Info

Aquaman™ Knolly Warden is the first of series of custom bikes that are colot-themed after some great comic book superheroes that inspired us a couple of years ago. We decided to build a couple of bikes like that this season - this is the first one. The nice contrast between Day Glow Green color of the frame and orange anodizing on the parts is the clou here and we think it really works! This is a prototype frame, so please be patient - the production Wardens will contain some more interesting stuff (we cannot spoil the wait though).
