I'm on Stand Flow MK3s, I have no real complaints. I'm stuck in a flatter part of the country but spend a few weeks a year in BC riding and haven't destroyed them which says a lot for me (I'm a good 220 lbs, just me, no gear).
Profile has been nice for DHFs (2.35 and 2.5) and a minon SS (2.35). Non of the tires were the "wt" versions.
I have a spitfire (last year of the V2), and someone on here has a Prime (which might be closer to a E29).
My Spitfire is not the lightest, but its not a pig, dropper, aluminum rims, EXO tires and a pike with zero carbon anywhere its about 32 lbs for a large...
all the cliched things about "downhiller's trail bike" etc are pretty accurate, I can't complain. its a great bike. There are times when I have wished I had a little more travel for bigger stuff or really chundery stuff, but the pike honestly runs out of Burl long before the frame does.
I own a spitfire and I don't have any complaints (I always ride with a pack, so the bottom of down-tube water bottle mount is a not an issue for me). I have zero experience with Knolly's personally.
I'd guess they are the alloys based on the shape where it meets the crank-arm.
sweet looking ride for sure
