- A new kind of ring- high-pitched ring cuts through traffic noise, while the deep harmonic adds long, clear tones

I think it’s pretty well made and it’s simple/elegant design is great for mountain biking because it has minimal moving parts to break and is far more flush to the bar than any bell I know, so it SHOULDN’T get snagged on brush or a body parts in a tumble. Noise level is also sufficient for the quite woods of the trails I ride, but I also hit it multiple times to be sure. Simple design also makes it easier to install.
FOR ME AND THOSE PURPOSES, that makes it a good value for the money, however the noise level is not loud enough for noisy street use, in my humble opinion. My kids’ bells are much louder. The sound it makes is very pleasing though, as advertised.
If you want loud as possible and aren’t worried about the snagging…I’d look elsewhere. If your use case is similar to mine, look no further… worth the money.
One possible flaw, even for my purposes is that the one moving part – the thumb paddle – is plastic and relatively thin. It COULD break in a really hard snag, but it’s pretty flexible, so I doubt it.

Die Klingel ist so schön schmal und schlicht, sie benötigt sehr wenig Platz. Meine alte Klingel hat, da sie oben soweit aufbaut, nicht zwischen Griff und Motorsteuerung gepasst. Ich habe deshalb nach einer Lösung gesucht, bei der man zum Klingeln nicht die Hand vom Lenker nehmen muss. Die Knog Oi Classig (Gr. S) passt perfekt dazwischen. Auch ihr Klang ist angenehm und laut genug.

I really like the way this bell looks on my handlebars. It blends right in and is barely noticeable. Sometimes pedestrians don’t hear it, but I think that’s more because everyone has earbuds in these days, and not so much a fault of the bell.

I liked the concept of the bell, but the spring almost instantly started rusting. After a couple of months the spring became too brittle and the bell stopped working.
Amazon gave me a refund. I also contacted Knog, and they told me that the bell should not be left outside…

It sounds great. People will hear me. It’s less aggressive than my stock ebike horn. Had a nice ring and sound. Feels great. Easy to install. You can tell this is the MJ of bells.

Really like the larger model of Luxe but it’s too big for MTB handlebar so switch to this smaller model… This smaller model doesn’t ring as loud or nice as the Luxe model. More importantly, I think there is a design flaw where the striker is too close to the bell which is preventing the bell to ring freely (no I didn’t over tighten).

The bell is very discreet on the handlebars, and makes enough sound to be heard clearly from afar!

Se volete un campanello che si integri perfettamente con il manubrio della vostra mtb questo è perfetto. Il suono è nitido, non è altissimo ma fa il suo lavoro. Nasce per essere di design e nascondersi sul manubrio ed è perfetto. Perfetto anche come regalo!

THE GOOD: The aesthetics are wonderful – it is clean, sleek and minimalist. It is easy to install. It comes with it’s own Allen wrench so no having to have that exact size tool when getting this product.
BE ADVISED: The sound of the bell is not the loudest; this is OK with me – may not be for others.
THE BAD: The part you press with your thumb to strike the bell is made of plastic and a small spring. This plastic piece broke the second day I used it. It is too thin I assume as it split and was only held on by the spring and a wafer thin piece of plastic. It was hanging on by a thread after that so to speak. This part should be made of a more durable material. This company DOES in fact make another model with what appears to be a metal piece. Why this is not the only product they should sell I have no idea. The so-called “classic” version – the one with the plastic piece is crap. And at $20 not what I would call throw away cheap. The metal handle version looks to be selling for twice that amount. Very dissatisfied.

Die Klingel erfüllt ihren Zweck und klingt schön aus. Habe 4-5 Sekunden so in etwa gezählt bis das Klingeln verstumte.
Die Klingel ist auch wirklich laut und hört sich wunderschön an!
10/10 Klang
10/10 Optik
5/10 Montage; ich war erst verwundert wie man die Klingel montieren soll.
Man muss praktisch mit Kraft aufwendung die Klingel dazu zwingen das sich das Plastik soweit auseinander dehnt. Das die Klingel dann auf den Lenker drauf flutscht.
Ich denke diese einzige Eigenschaft könnte man verbessern und es wäre Top!
Plastik was sich so ausdehnt bricht in der Regel.
Verbesserungswürdig an den Hersteller, nehmt den Verbesserungs Wunsch an.
Und macht da eine Metall Schaniere hin.
Und das Problem ist gelöst.
Und ihr habt eine 10/10 Klingel
Gesamtbewertung:8,3/10 Punkte

I bought this bell in the summer of 2018; it’s 2019 now and I’m giving my year-long tested review.
The reason I got this – I’m in NYC, and in the last few years as biking has become increasingly popular with younger riders, specifically teenagers who get together in groups and do “ride-outs”, which for those who are unfamiliar with the term, is dozens of people swarming the streets at once on their bikes and basically taking over all lanes of traffic. Because of this, the NYPD has been cracking down on bicycle safety, and people have been getting tickets for not having proper equipment, or the worst case scenario, getting their bikes seized for dangerous riding. I’m a BMX rider, so I set out to make sure I have all the proper items on my bike so I would not run into trouble. I know it is unorthodox for a BMX to have all safety gear required by NYC equipped on it (people usually strip everything down off these types of bikes for weight), but I’d rather have this cool looking bell than pay a fine for not having it.
The bell itself – I absolutely love the design of it. I’m surprised it hasn’t existed sooner. And even though I could have bought any random cheapie bell just for my bike to be street legal, I specifically got the Knog Oi. I know there are tons of counterfeits floating around since it came out, but I truly appreciate the design and engineering that went into this bell. The original creators deserve their recognition and should get the benefits. It has a pleasant tone that is clearly audible; although on a very noisy NYC street it can be easily drowned out. In more suburban or rural areas it should be fine though. The bell’s ringer is very stable on it’s springs and I haven’t had any instance where it went off unless I hit a really rough patch or a pothole. The only complaint about the mounting is that the instructions specifically tell you not to overtighten the screw; so over time it will get loose and the bell will move. Not a big deal, so aside from invariable re-tightening of the screw, there’s nothing wrong with this bell to knock any stars off it for.
The packaging – The packaging looks great and there’s no complaints there. However, I had no idea the bell came with it’s own hex key (alan wrench). I found it inside the box only after looking around for special instructions about what hex size the screw takes after trying to use every wrench I had and none of them fit. I’m guessing the screw is either specific to the Knog Oi, or perhaps it is some kind of Australian metric size that isn’t common in the United States. Either way, it’s not a big deal, but there’s nothing on the packaging that says the hex key is included. I had no idea it came with one at all. But if you’re wondering, it is found under the inset holder that the bell sits in inside the box.
Overall, this is just the coolest looking bike bell out there and perfectly compliments an aggressive looking BMX bike. If you’re looking for a bell just to get your bike up to code to be street ridable and roadworthy, this is the one. Excellent invention and excellent product!
