Vaude's new Uphill range offers some of, if not the lightest bags in the world. Vaude say that using silicone elastomer fabric taken from lightweight tents means they can save around half the weight of a normal bag. This one has a nine litre capacity and weighs 375 grams.

No comment...
...and that's it for my Eurobike coverage this year.
They never seem to have enough vents but I haven't heard about an owner complaining about airflow. They prolly have one of them fancy micro fans that mascots have inside their heads... or something
Did they change the retention system from the one on the Trabec? First helmet I had where if my pack was the slightest bit loose it would completely loosen the retention system.
Vital has a bit better coverage. They had me fooled actually. There's a picture of the 380 evo which only shows up to the lower crown... I thought it was a 380 single crown for a few minutes!
Like the rest of the Knolly line-up, it looks wicked good, but I do hope they clean up the welds a bit...specifically at the seatube/shock mount/downtube junction. I'm guessing its just a bike show prototype.
I saw a German review of the new Delirium where they say it will be 2100 Euros, which is a bit less than 2400 USD.
And yes, I'm also intersted in which fork it can accept. The first version was made for 150-180 mm fork, the second was for 160-180 mm but no dual crowns.
Prepare thyself for a veritable avalanche of down votes!!! I mean damn man, it says 4X4!!! Think 33" tires, 6" lift and really expensive differentials. Who doesn't like that? Plus, its clearly better than the 2X2 designs out there.
I have 4 Knolly frames. Been riding them since 2007. NEVER had a bearing or pivot problem.
They use INA bearings, which are very very good, and also very expensive.
The extra linkage provides the ability to tune the shock and wheel rates independently, whereas with a single linkage you have to compromise...
Endorphin - Trailbike Delirium - Trail/Enduro/Freeride/DH-lite - had 2 forks and wheelsets - was my "one" bike - mostly ridden now by my son Podium - Downhill
Delirium-T frame - was my "one" bike - a buddy was supposed to buy but backed out. Then 27.5 happened and the bottom dropped out....
Again, wtf.....sweet baby jesus. KNOLLY spending money I do not have yet. My kid is paying her own way to school I guess.
I like POC but I could never wear the Tectal, it would turn into the Rectal. And my friend are not that smart.
Dude! That comment is gold! Had to interrupt the missus' Japanese drama to share that one. No instant noodles for me tonight. Seriously though, that Delirium is worth sacrificing a child's education for.
Anybody else notice what's going on with the fork on the bike in the second to last picture? I want to say it's mounted backwards, but looking at the caliper location, I think it's actually intentional.
old2009.knollybikes.com/bikes/delirium_t the last one was 4.3 kg for just 165mm travel. the description there says "a frame perfectly suited to epic big mountain climbs leading to unknown descents" and "a climbing capable chain stay" my guess is that the weed is just that good in canada.
I have that old Knolly Delirium T. That's not a bad climber considering that it's almost a park bike. This frame is really massive and is made for tough canadian lumberjack, when you look at it it's easy to see where you can gain weight. My complete "light" build on the Delirium T is heavier than my Knolly Podium with dual crown
Some nice bikes and bits. (and some not so) As no one else has mentioned it, what's up with the lightweight bag made of tent fabric? If this material is so great at saving weight (and assumably strong) why is it only just being used?
...second angle... think about any pro shot video you've ever seen, do they keep the action to just one camera? Heck, even claudio is always running at least a chesty & a helmet cam, & sometimes a bike mounted one as well. It's called Coverage, & you cut to it at different moments to break up the action in an edit. I've seen camera pointed back at rider a bunch of times in good edits. You just have to be rich enough to have multiple gopros...
just rich enough, there's a world of difference between affording 3-4 go-pros & 3-4 high quality video cameras, & even people that own those still would rather strap a go-pro to a bike, not their several $1000 hardware.
Since when a framebuffer handycam costs 1000s? What I meant is if you're serious enough to get multiple cams, you should get real cams instead - for little to no extra cost.
& then have to figure how to mount them for on the bike shots? or you could just use an action cam like a Gopro for those shots, like pretty much everybody else does. & maybe you want more than one angle for POV, so maybe you buy more than one go-pro?
What? So you're saying there weren't camera mounts around way before gopro "creators" were even in diapers. I can see you're not a pro (nor apparently ever used a camera before go pros came around), still doesn't meant you have to be that sucked into the hype.
Right. you could use some other camera, & finagle a mount for it... or you could use a camera that already designed to be durable, affordable, compact, & has a universe of mounts already available. But that's all hype, & I must have been imagining all the pro stuff I've seen go-pros used for. Why, you should really teach a class for other pros on your "nopro" method, I bet you could make, $10-$15 bucks, easy.
Right, finagle lol because like I said there's never been all sorts of camera mounts before, and every camera there's been around since virtually ever hasn't had a standard attachment point for them... but yeah I should teach a class or two - for a dollar... so that cash strapped pros could attend yawn

Not to mention that a bar or stem mounted Gopro is among the worst angles to film from.
