Thanks so much! That's very kind of you to say!

I picked one up in DEC-2022. Love this bike. I just got back from Bentonville (Apri 2023) where I finally got to take it out on it's first ride. Mostly doing laps in Coler, and a visit to the Railyard. Watching you ride definitely helps reassure that this bike can do plenty more than I'm willing to throw at it.

Glad to see your back out there making content, really appreciate it.

You're talking about a "dream bike", when I see NX stuff on it, made me very confused. Then you said the truth: "it pays of to have really small dreams" =)) You made my day :)) Thanks!

COBRA'S BAAACK!! 😆 Great to see a new video from our favorite KZreadr! Congrats on the new hardtail, good to know what bike I'm getting next lol I bought a Nukeproof Reactor, most recently a Trek Top Fuel...only a matter of time before the trend continues 😛 My back isn't the best either, actually sold my only hardtail during winter...was shocked when I realized it was my most ridden bike (thanks Strava) but am already thinking of replacing it. Love Knolly as a brand, they make quality bikes - almost bought a Fugitive instead of the Top Fuel...almost. I digress, welcome back Sir! Sorry to hear about the concussion, stay safe and hope to see more 🙂

Stumbled across your channel as it landed in my recommendation feed. Even though I am now riding a full suspension bike, I definitely would agree that hardtails are more fun to ride. I do miss that harsh feedback and the snappy feeling of a hardtail sometimes, but I also enjoy the softer, more forgiving riding experience a fully gives. 👍

@@CobraKyle yeh its a shame - you're stuck with the Specialized fuse which I believe is a worse bike. (i mention that as its Merida who owns Specialized and is the reason Merida aren't imported there which is DUMB!. The reach on them are short for trailbike standards but upsizing solves that with the short seat tubes.. something I love about the Norco also. I usually ride a small but I'm loving the Medium in the Norco.

Very nice. Hope it's all you want from a bike. I agree, I prefer hardtails. I don't do much real downhill and avoid tricky teck. So... Name for your bike? Spanky? Promise I won't do it again 😅😅😅😅

@@CobraKyle Ah man, no dice for me. I have 5 bikes- 3 of which are hardtails!

Just ordered a frame to swap out from a Meta HT (and upgrade some parts). The only thing I find a bit weird is the dropper post cable routing, where it goes under the frame (outside) and then through to the back of the seat tube. Not sure why it doesn't just go in through the front of the seat tube and avoid potential damage by having it external below the BB

Suuuuhweeeeet! ❤️🏆🤘🏼

This bike interests me as well. Currently I am riding a 2022 Rocky Mountain Growler. Its a great bike but the geo is a little off for me. Mainly around reach etc. I have really long arms. Before my purchase I watched your review of the Growler and was pretty stoked. Over all the RM has been great but a steel hardtail with better geo is tempting. I'm seriously considering buying the frame and moving everything over. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I need to take it for a spin. That bike looks so good.

Did you use my insurance company s hold music as background music?

I ride a Knolly Tyaughton Titanium and it could be the last bike I ever have. And I ride full North Shore gnar with it no problem. It is not the bike but the rider, and hardtails have a lot going for them. No pivots, great climbing and they teach real riding skills.....body english, line choice, poise.....sure, FS has a place and I like it but my HT gets 95% of the riding time.
