First Look Friday: Knolly Warden, MagLOCK pedals, and SPOT Gen3

[Rock Guy]

It's essentially a four bar design with a yoke and extra linkage. And it reportedly works VERY well. 

I'm pretty sure Knolly's own website wouldn't have highlighted the flaws in their own designs. Then again, I don't think a company would employ a design that has no merits either. I am sure that in theory it works at least as good as a regular 4 bar system, but in practice the additional linkage and yolk has to improve the ride by enough to outweigh the potential for mishap in the extra parts. From their marketing blurb it sounds like it at least makes life easier for Noel when he designs the bikes.

 

The only way to really know if the design works would be to test it, and even then there are so many other variables that play a role in how the bike rides. I just find it difficult to justify the complicated design.

 

Looking forward to the review.
