Knolly Bikes: Delirium Versatility With Mark Matthews - Video
Knolly’s most notorious model has eluded proper classification since its launch back in 2008…. and that’s just the way we like it. Whether you're into freeride, slopestyle, shuttling DH, or if you only ride Park…the Delirium is the rig that will take you to the next level, and in massive style. Versatility. This has been the cornerstone of the Delirium concept since day one. Striking the balance between ‘tough as nails’ and ‘playful’ on the trail is a tall order. The Delirium delivers. The newest version of this 'shape shifter' allows the pilot to configure this model in many different ways, including adjustable geometry, and it's cleared for take-off with dual crown forks accompanied by Knolly's famous dual geometry settings as you can see from Factory Team Rider, Mark Matthews, in the video...
The ability switch between a DH fork and a regular single crown fork was a key design pillar and if you are lucky enough to have two forks you can quickly adjust the Delirium to suit specific terrain and we offer two build kits with the single crown fork.

Knolly boys have been a bit quiet recently, maybe working on something big that will blow our eye balls out their socket!?
2nd question what was the 2nd knolly on the stand in the background (red one) when they were swapping forks?
I, like others here, have a single crown 180mm fork on an an AM rig (mine is a '15 Canfield Balance with a Durolux RC2) and I've found that this setup can handle 90% of what my Operator with a Groove 200 can. That said....
*) How much faster do you want to go that would justify a full on DH bike?
*) How you ride is a big factor. Do you hop and pop over as much tech as you can or tend to plow? If you plow a lot in the chunder, that extra .78 inches of travel (from 180 to 200) may be just the ticket. Especially on a fork with good bottom out control and/or you are a big kid.
Lastly, there is the fact that some just feel more comfortable with a dual crown.
There's no wrong or right way here. Just go figure out what you like then proceed to rip and scare yourself to giggles!
Thank you Knolly.
PS - Can I get a better discount next time???
Do you want to response and say the stiffness ?
ATM its in my new NS Soda Evo Air. The Fork feels really great and i cant complain about the "noise" others are talking about. The Performance and Stiffness is great, i really like it. Awesome Fork for the pricetag! Next week i get my 2nd bike set up with an 2013 Fox Float. After riding it a couple of times i can compare these. But the features of the durolux are great!
I firmly believe a 170mm travel bike can be made to pedal very, but that's all in the shock setup. If you want a setup that can be made to pedal well AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO FIDDLE WITH IT, get a Monarch RC3 plus!!!! If you don't mind having to tweak it some (and perhaps even add volume spacers) to get the best out of it when you get to the bike park, CC DB Air CS.
That said, does the X2 have a climb switch?
