First Look: 2021 Knolly Chilcotin - Now With 29" Wheels & 167mm of Travel
@scotteh: That is going to be my winter project too. That said, it actually makes quite a difference moving the shock to Neutral position. My Wednesday night crew are getting tired of captain slow on the climbs ;-)

@KNOLLYBIKES: I can confirm that. My current setup is a large Mullet Warden configured as 168mm rear and 160mm front, I am 5'11" (180cm). That setup has been a gamechanger for me, especially when riding steep and gnarly trails where I previously lacked confidence. Additionally, I would like to mention that is very predictable when jumping (until now I have always been very reluctant to commit to jumps) it is also worth mentioning that it is surprisingly agile despite a fairly slack head angle. As for climbing it is fully acceptable as an Enduro bike.
For what it is worth, my winter project is a park bike. For that I am contemplating a Mullet delirium, so 175mm rear and 170mm Zeb in the front. That said, this announcement could change my mind.
