[Closed] Knolly Endorphin

Rare as hen's teeth in the UK. Singletrack mag did a review a year or so ago - didn't really rate it iirc. Not seen any other reviews by UK mags, and the importers (whoever they are) have kept a low profile.
There was a used frame for sale a while back - not sure if it ever got sold.
Loads of stuff over on MTBR but then you probably knew that anyway!

Love mine,

Not the lightest 5.5" frame going, but the trade off is the lateral stiffness, amongst other things. Having had a number of Turners in the past, the Endorphin feels like the Turner I never had, if that makes sense. Running it with Lyrics, which are a bit OTT for XC, but the frame feels underserved with anything flexier.

The STW review was a little sparse. I do know of one other owner in the UK, who is very happy with his also. Fantastic build quality and execution.

Manufacturer waws a bit miffed about that review as the reviewer was too big/small for the test bike they had and so not an entirely fair judgement.

Thanks IanS for your post.

I've taken the plunge and bought one.

Well done,

You won't regret it. It does deserve burly though, so think carefully on the build kit.

Would be interested to know what you make of it....

i think jimb on mtbwales has one you could try asking on there

Bloke I rode with in Lordswood had one and didn't stop singing its praise event though he was riding his Yeti at the time

can I ask what size frame people,are riding? It was on my list of potentials but was worried about which was the best size to get.

5'10" short legs - a happy medium as in photo

I've ordered a large. I'm 6'3" with 34" inside leg.

I'll post some pics shortly. Hope it looks as good as yours IanS.

Can't wait to get out on it

Nelso how is knolly going?

me mate Rich had one, it were lovely! (he then got a five, which were also lovely)
