At Escapa, we combine safety with style
Generally, bike bells tend to be ugly and sound bad. But why? What if they looked sexy and sounded like an angel playing? The Knog OI Classic Large Bell is a bell with a beautiful tone, but also a striking style and a selection of materials that embody the cyclist’s personality.
The Mount
What about the handlebar cables? Don’t worry. The shape of the mount also turns it into a cable management system. So, not only does it let the bell look and sound its best, but it also helps keep your cables tidy (to satisfy the organizer in all of us).
The Look
Unlike other bells, which usually stick up or out, the Oi is unobtrusive and seems to float around the handlebar. In a way, it’s discreet. But, on the other hand, it stands out and makes itself seen.
The Sound
And the same goes for the tone, as numerous prototypes, ring length, and volume have been tested to achieve the perfect sound.
With a spring-loaded actuator built into the mount, the bell’s strike is firm and quick, providing a good balance of volume and a long-lasting sound. In fact, our bell has multiple tones: a central tone and several higher supporting tones to ensure it’s unmistakable and can be heard clearly.
Installation
How do you mount it on the handlebar? Simply open it, quickly tighten the hex screw, and you’re done. For handlebars measuring 23.8–26 mm in diameter, we’ve included a spacer to help the Oi fit comfortably on the handlebar.
