The Delirium T shares the V-tach’s lineage but puts it to use in a lighter weight and very flexible package. Versatility is the hallmark of the Delirium T All Mountain Frame: a frame perfectly suited to epic big mountain climbs leading to unknown descents while still at home on technical trails and forays into lift serviced riding.
The Delirium T uses the same quad double row angular contact bearing and oversized axle pivot system as its heavier-duty sibling to ensure a high degree of lateral rigidity. However, the lighter frame package and all mountain geometry make it suitable for extended climbing and epic all day riding. Featuring head angle and chain stay length adjustments, the Delirium T can be quickly transformed from epic all mountain mode into a nimble light duty free riding frame or short course DH racer.
Clearance for 2.7″ tires and a climbing capable chain stay (as short as 16.4″) mated with Knolly’s patent pending Four by 4 Linkage create a truly versatile frame. A range of five frame sizes accommodates rider heights from 5 feet and up.
Frame options? How about DH air or coil spring shocks? It’s your choice and either match the low leverage ratio suspension design. Have a penchant for riding a bit more aggressively than your friends? Opt to upgrade the standard 135 quick release dropouts to our optional 135 x 12mm thru axle system.
While we aren’t purveyors of The One Bike Myth, if we had to choose only one bike, this would be it.
