Stellenbosch local Martin Zietsman packed up his life and moved to the UK at the beginning of 2017 to pursue his goal of competing overseas. He is currently recovering from a broken arm, but you can learn more about his plans here<\/a>. We took a closer look at the Knolly Warden carbon he will be racing for the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

Martin is supported by Trailtech Cycles, Maxxis Tyres, South Industries, Leatt Protectives, and MRP suspension, and his build reflects this. The Knolly Warden carbon frame is paired with a MRP Stage, 160mm travel fork and a Cane Creek Double Barrel CS shock.<\/p>\n

The drive train is made up of a Box One shifter, rear derailleur and a 11-46T cassette, paired with SRAM’s XO1 crank and a SRAM chainring (Martin has since fitted an MRP Wave chainring). The cockpit also features Box components with a 780mm x 35mm rise carbon bar paired with a 65mm Box stem and grips.<\/p>\n

The icing on the cake are the South Industries 27.5″ AM rims with custom lumo yellow, pink, and blue decals. They are wrapped in a Maxxis Minion DHF tyre on the front and a Maxxis Minion SS on the rear.<\/p>\n
