does this mean that all these comapnies also suck?
no just because some bikes break doesnt mean the bikes are not correct!
if konas are so bad then how are they still selling so many bikes?

You should read this topic from the beginning.
On top of the previous page you will see third. Spec Enduro and SX. They loved to snap on chain stay. It was as common as Stinkys 06 trouble with links and Giant problem with Reign 2010/2011 links.

2 Epics (carbon 2008 and alu 2006) have cracked last year in my town both ridden in XC only by normal weight riders.

In early 2010 Specialized announced that users of Epic Marathon Carbon, Epic Marathon Expert, Epic Expert, Epic Comp Carbon, Epic Comp, Era FSR Expert Carbon, Era FSR Expert, Era FSR Comp, and Epic Marathon should stop using their bikes because of cracks on Brain mount.
