New Knolly Chilcotin and Endorphin SL

Word's out at Interbike as Knolly unveils the new Chilcotin.

DB is not doing vegas this year, so need to serve up some shots from PB for now. More details once we have them in hand.

Short version - evolution of Endorphin, "bigger", with new head and seat tube angles, more travel, new tubing. 160mm travel, adjustable geometry, and more nice details. Looks like another sweet bike to consider in a similar class to Norco Range, new Slayer and more…

Our word on CDN SRP for Frame and shock is $2600.

I'm so confused.

bullshit. BULLSHIT! i had so much emotionally invested in the endorphin as my next bike. i was hesitant at first, didn't want to commit, but for the last 8 months i've been day dreaming about it and geeking out on reviews. picturing the day one would appear for a song on craigslist and i could scoop it up and make it my own… now they go and make it obsolete with this thing with ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. wtf, i feel totally cheated, what an awful company, now i'm going to have to deinvest myself and work on my self esteem for a while and then slowly begin trolling the inevitable mtbr mega thread about chilcotin color ways and potential 29er versions…

i don't understand naming a heavy 6" bike after an area best suited for super-light xc bikes.
still heavier than nomad, enduro, etc. but an improvement over the still-overbuilt delerium i suppose.

Really sexy. Still like the Delirium better though.

My thoughts exactly on the name… however, this is the first Knolly I can honestly say I've really liked… a bit porky but not out of contention for my next bike.

Was gonna trade in the DT for a Nomad - sick of dragging all that extra weight around, but liking this new contender now. Daft name though.

chilcotins - so hot right now

still waiting on lightweight endorphin . . . that's my dream bike

I've heard rumours of a more XC version of the Endo, so maybe Knolly is splitting the Endo into the Chilcotin and a more XC version? It's too bad it's still got that silly slack seat tube on it.

Wait no longer Endo SL.

The bike that is actually made for the Chilcotins.

You can find it if you look for it, but mostly it's super smooth flowy single track, and with some of the hike a bikes, a light XC bike becomes much more enjoyable over a 10 hour day.
