this should be on the cover of a kona magizine such a sick shot...soooooooooooo clear and pretty intense

Man ur right, this on the cover would b awesome, Fabien rules!!

Wow. well done!

It wouldnt be on a kona mag, because barel dont ride for them anymore!... Mondraker!!

sick shot, pod

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

really shit thats why so many people have won riding it.

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.

i dont see wots wrong with the kona. it served barel well....

If they are so reliable how come you have to push them

downtheline made a funny ^^

Good riding and photography. Here's my Kona rant

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, lol.

amazing picture.. i had it as my background a few months ago. glad to see it god POD now

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!

And Kick ass pic! definately POD!

sick ass rims orange MTX'S look unreal! is that a buyable colour? like urban camo?

and yet my friend rides a kona, has had his stinky for like 3 years. he beats the living crap out of it and it's still going strong. all he breaks are derailleurs.

kona ownz!!!!!

that was pod in 2006!

I ride a Kona and it is very reliable.

So to every kid on here who thinks Kona sucks, your obviously a trend whore who probably rides a specialized p series or a norco and haven't explored any other brands.

Suck my back.

everyone who says anything bad about a kona is a f*cking idiot... thank you.... AMAZING pod GREAT BIKE F*CK all you kona haters

huckoveraduck ^^^^^^

those goggles are addidas burna, and there supposed to be mirrored.
lol

as for the rest of you retards who hate kona:
get a life kona makes great bikes at very affordable prices not all of us are spoiled babies who get $500 a week on allowance and buy fricken demo 8's. oh and dont forget about not being able to ride them. for f*ck sakes this is such a great photo and your saying that its shit just because it has a kona logo on it! f*cking idiots.

Great photo, POD for sure.

f*ck everyone dissing the photo because of the bike
the photo should be looked at as a work of art
its ridiculous, u guys look at the photo and say "oh, i don't like this photo because he's riding a kona, oh"
f*ck that

konas are decent bikes, alot of the people who ride them are posers but alot of great riders ride kona as well, there not the best brand or the worst but god, don't diss a sick pick pick cuz of the bike, any one who gives a f*ck what bike someone rides is a poser

How is he a poser?? you probably cant even afford a kona

just so u know the comment from sxrider35 is actually from pipelinewill, i was loged in to my friends account, sorry jordie! and I don't mean fabien is a poser, i mean allot of kids who cant ride worth a shit think konas are cool and buy them but dont use them, fabien is amasing oh and i upgraded from a kona last year

why dont you guys stop bagging on the bike an just go ride.

i ride a f*ckin 500 dollar 05, specialized rockhopper and still kick almost everone i ride withs ass downhill and dirt jumping. so it just goes to prove that you all are a bunch of spoiled biches who think that they need a nice bike to ride.

everybody prefers a different brand...
but who cares about the brand
its how the person rides not wat bike he has...

Thats soooooooooooooooo nice pod for sure.

barel kicks ass at that.

It is now

ze goggles!!
