From tubing to suspension tuning to finishing touches, there’s plenty we can tell you about now, and full details will be available when the bike is launched later this fall.
The Endorphin hasn’t seen any revisions for a few years, but it’s the first of Knolly’s bikes to get a 6th generation update. While the new Endorphin may not look dramatically different from Knolly’s current Gen 5 bikes, there are actually many significant changes and updates.
In addition to the top tubes, Knolly’s down tubes are also getting straightened out. They still have the double bend they always did, but it’s less pronounced than before. Up front, the Gen 6 frames’ head tubes offer a cleaner tapered shape than previous frames. The Endorphin is also the first Knolly to run bearings in every suspension pivot, whereas the previous generation frames used a mix of bearings and bushings. Furthermore, the shock link is now a Monoblock one-piece design.
Another finishing touch is a move to SRAM UDH derailleur hangers . Being particular about details, Knolly decided to machine their own derailleur hangers instead of supplying SRAM’s stock versions. The SRAM hangers are partly made from composite, but Knolly made theirs entirely from aluminum. Buckley says the beefed-up aluminum hangers are stiffer and offer better-shifting performance.
