- Does not interfere with the shifter or dropper lever.
- Compatible with all brake levers.
- Compatibility between the V2 bracket and the V3 guard.
- Thick decals (400 microns) to protect shields and brackets.
- Made in Europe.
Over the years, Nock handguards have become the preferred choice for enduro mountain bike riders, both at the highest levels of competition with the UCI EDR and in local races.
For the V3, this quest for reliability has translated into simplification and optimization because, as Italian sculptor Constantin Brancusi stated, we truly believe that "simplicity is complexity resolved" and this is the philosophy behind the Nock V3.
We completely redesigned all parts and their assembly in order to control the behavior of each part under impact deformation and limit the transfer of impact energy to the handlebar in the event of a crash.
By eliminating the flip-chip mount of the Nock V2, which allowed two lateral and two forward positions, we simplified the connection between the shell and the mount, while making it much more reliable.
This simplification, however, did not come at the expense of ergonomics. Very compact, the Nock V3 mounts are discreet on the handlebar. Their direct-grip mounting system offers greater lateral adjustment and ensures optimal integration with the handlebar.
