Kelly® Knobby X
For us it began in 1996, long before they were calling it “gravel”… we called it “Knobby X”…
Built tough and light with clearance for large knobby tires, MTB cranks (now called “compact” or “1x”) the Knobby X was easily 20 years ahead of it’s time… which is why it quickly grew to be THE most popular bike we’ve ever offered…
Available in 5 different sizes, straight, “S” or single bent stay options, canti, V or disc, geared or one speed, you’ll find out why the Kelly® Knobby X has such a great following, and still is one of the best bikes you’ll ever own…

It’s an amazing frame, lightweight, crisp, very to the point cross frame. Chris still builds one of the most clean looking frames I know.
