Knolly Bikes, the Vancouver-based mountain bike manufacturer, is undergoing significant restructuring following the Royal Bank of Canada’s (RBC) decision to call in its account. This move has prompted founder and CEO Noel Buckley to evaluate various restructuring options to navigate the challenging financial landscape.
Despite these financial hurdles, Knolly remains committed to its core values of durability and performance. The company continues to develop new models, including the redesigned Cache Titanium gravel bike, which offers enhanced tire clearance and multiple mounting options for adventure enthusiasts.

Knolly’s dedication to its community is evident through initiatives like the Knation Grassroots Ride Program, which seeks passionate riders to represent the brand in local and regional events. (knollybikes.com)
In the broader cycling industry, Knolly’s situation mirrors challenges faced by other brands. For instance, Canyon has announced plans to reduce its workforce by up to 320 employees as part of a global restructuring aimed at simplifying operations and boosting innovation. (pinkbike.com)
