poor designing frames....hahahaha you know so little. Kona have a bad rep because they build reliable bikes that are cheaper than anyone elses and half the price to maintain. I guess it must be hard to accept If when you ride a 3K bike and it breaks every weekend, and a cheap ass kona still trundles along happily.

Yeah I hate having an un-trendy kona, I hate never actually having to work on the bike, I hate running it through English mudbaths year after year and not having to replace any bearings/bushes anywhere.
Okay that just broke my sarcasmometer Smile

Before i read any of the comments i knew people would be saying "Pod but its a kona" or "Not Pod worthy cause its a shite bike"

You know what: for once dont judge something on the bike. f*ck the bike. The bike isnt important. Its what you see in the picture as a whole. Style, performance, general awesomeness. If that was a Sunday or a V10 it would be voted best picture on pinkbike or some shit like that. Just because its a kona you think its crap. Nice one lads... you really impress me.

Good riding and photography. Here's my Kona rant Razz

I don't like Kona because a) I'm a smaller rider, and their geometry feels awkward for me; b) Every Kona rider I know who actually rides it has a problem every weekend, and end up walking home; and c) Every 10-13 year old kid in my area has a Kona, but won't actually ride it.

If I had this much against any other brand, people would be like "cool, whatever" but since it's Kona that I dislike for legitimate reasons, the "Kona-hater haters" will be pissed off, Big Grin lol.

Lemme get this straight! those here are bashin on a Kona because its a Kona, a popular bike? I owned a stinky delux couple years back and my riding skill tripled! They have a Great bike and on the right person perform just as well as just about any other bike out there, I can list off 5 other high end brands that end up in the shop just as damn often after a ride as the example used.. look at the size and riding style of the rider idiots!

Kona makes an all around great bike for a great price, of course you see alot of young'ns on em cause they are cheap and its a good way to get more peeps into the mountain bike seen with some decent quality!
Cheers! and ride hard!

The only problems I have had with my Kona are the parts that aren't even made by kona. One minute people are talking about bad frame design and next they are saying about failing parts. Well considering Kona dont put bikes together that are solely made up of Kona parts leads me to think where the argument is coming from. The parts that are breaking aren't even made by Kona half of the time. They are just attached to one, and suddenly it means Kona sucks. I dont understand it.

kona's are not that bad...I don't see wy this pics would not be pod just because he rides a kona. If you don't like kona just buy something else. But why so much trash on kona... it might not suit your riding or geometry but I sur fit somebody cause they are still in business so let them do their thing and buy something else stupid kids...

i dont get why people hate konas, a bike is bike, ride it, live it, love it....a bike is a bike, kona may not have the same grade stuff brands like Morewood would put out, kona frames will outlast most components, i kno from experience, and as years go by, they put out more stuff that bigger companies, so if you dont like kona, whatever, but quite your bitchen.....
