The Warden is an incredibly playful bike that constantly inspires and enables me to experiment with new and playful lines on the trail. Remarkably, it does this whilst retaining an incredible depth of travel to back me up when those playful lines get exciting. This is enhanced greatly by the FOX X2 mounted on the rear, which is a tremendous shock. This is the most impressive bike I've ever owned and my next bike will most certainly be a Knolly based on my experience with the Warden. So why am I selling it, your asking? A.) I'm 6'3'' and I'm pushing the upper limits of reach requirements with this bike. The 2017 Knolly Warden is middling on the size spectrum with a reach of around 475mm for this XL. I need to be riding something with a reach at or exceeding 500mm to be comfortable. B.) I have an unresolved lower-back injury and part of resolving my lower-back pain is for me to ride a longer bike that fits me better. C.) I'd prefer a 29''er. Nothing wrong with 27.5''. Pick a wheel size and be a dick about it. I don't need to sell this bike and I'd happily ride it for another two or even three years. I have an opportunity to move straight across to a Knolly with a longer reach and 29'' wheels. I'm not desperate so I won't be entertaining low-ball offers. The frame has normal wear and is in otherwise great condition. It was professionally serviced 5/17/20. Buyer pays shipping.
