Hometown and your favorite trails:

I’m living in France, just south of Ardèche. Last year, I began building a local trail called Fossil Trail. It’s a little air DH line, with some technical features and jumps with flow. It was inspired by my favorite trails (A line: Whistler Bikepark and Foxy Line: la Fenasosa Bikepark in Spain). 

What do you ride (type of terrain)?  What's the intended use for your new bike? 

I ride a lot of freeride trails all over the world but my new Endorphin will be ridden as a dirt jumper, slope style, speed and style, and dual/pump track bike.

What model/colour/size: 

Endorphin (full 275), XS, Sea Foam. 

Bike spec/build. Did you do anything custom to make it special? 

I’m riding my Endorphin like a slopeduro, set up as a single speed special with full Ohlins Air Suspension.

How tall are you? What size frame did you get? 

I’m 5’6 and love the size XS.

What do you love about your new bike? 

As all Knolly models, I love their Fourby4 suspension system. It makes riding fun and safe for all terrains. Plus, the Endorphin is versatile and can run different set ups: mullet 275/29, full 275 or mullet 26/27.5.
