Knog-Oi Luxe Bike Bell

This modern take on the classic bell makes this bike accessory a fantastic feature to alert people you are coming through.  The Knog-Oi Luxe bike bell is a more refined and better-engineered version of the original version that first debuted on Kickstarter in 2016.  This unique design has a low-profile form that wraps around the bar.  This improved version has a louder and more distinct sound due to being made of metal instead of plastic, yet is still light and friendly.  The clamp is now lined with faux leather to prevent damage and resolve any fitting issues.   It comes in two sizes, one with a clamp diameter of 22.2 mm for use on mountain bikes and another with a 31.8 mm for road applications.  You can choose silver, brass, or black.

There is plenty of clearance between the caddy and your legs while pedaling.  In addition to the practical convenience this bike accessory provides, it has a stylish design and makes for a great conversation piece.  Don’t forget you can get a DUI on a bicycle, so bike responsibly.
