im sure i can find a pic of a transition or a specialized that has snapped its frame
quit ripping on kona its getting really old
quit ripping on kona its getting really old
u know you have ridden your bike hard when it looks like this
why stop ripping there just pure shit though tbh i ride like a 1999 dimound back it aint snaped and i ride it hard and i weigh quite a bit
even i could snap a kona LOL
even i could snap a kona LOL
im not saying its never happened, but ive never seen a demo snap like that. If anyone has pictures though id love to see em.
A guy over here snapped a demo in 3 different places.
yah i think u guys stop dissing kona bike they arent shit. u dont c those world champion rider that ride stab snap em its probably because this rider cant ride properly. i dont c ne world champs snap a kona.
i think one person started this about kona's are shit, then everyone wanted to fit in, i dont even have a kona but i know there not shit
well fabien barel rides for mondraker now and no top pro ever rides stock frames. have you ever seen paul bass hardtail it looks totally different. fabien barels bike had totally different geo and it was lighter. you are an idiot.
guitargod32 you are retarded. demo's can support a whole mini coooper on their nose ( or what ever you call it where that guys frame snapped)
i now hate kona bikes
Well the Taiwanese Have never been good frame Welders, but they do make them quick, haha
kona haters? get somthing better to do
why? when we are having perfectly good fun ripping a perfectly shit brand!
"i now hate kona bikes"

They are obviously not shit, they must be one of the most successful bike manufactures in the world, how many old konas do u see around compared to new bikes, the reason for that is because of durability, they last an age. Why does everyone in the freeride scene ride bloody stinkys? Cause there incredibly good for what u pay and are super strong. Why do some of the best ride for them, cant be that bad if Fabien Barrel won 2 world chapionships on them... All the best slopestyle rides use them, John Cowan, Paul Basagoitia, Grant Fielder, Andre/Lluis Lacondeguy, Robbie Bourdon... Enough said
it's not the bike that wins medals, it's the rider... the bike just helps.
Imagine fabien barrel on an intense, ironhorse or even a specialized

ok..in the movies they ride...but we cant see the bike after one run like that...how do u know that nothins got cracked???or damaged???......its anibodys choice what they buy this is my opinion....peace!
i never was a big Kona fan, but damn I thought it would hold better then that.
2008......i thin comes in my mind..taiwan...
I hate kona bikes !!!!!!!
Big shit
Big shit
that must have been awesome going over the finish line with that in his hands
Here I'll say it. "That's why you don't buy a Kona!"
and because the suspension design is shit
ohh god all the keyboard warriors will be out now saying that konas are shit, who knows how he snapped this ? he might of cased something big ? had a very bad crash or even of just had a dodgy kona with some weak welds. Doesnt make all konas shit though does it!!!!
precisely, my 7 year old stab frame is still going strong
all i have to say is that you see more snapped konas than any other mountain bike company out there. and not EVERY one of them is going to snap or else they would most likely go out of business thats why your 7yr old stab is still going. but the are more pictures of konas snapped than anyother..
just had a dodgy kona with some weak wealds...? sounds like a crap bike make!my kona XC broke, stab, stab deluxe, specialized Demo 9 now and no problems (and no im not a hard rider)
7 year old stab...well in those days things were made well...but not anymore...
and if u noticed..this bike DIDNT BROKE AT THE WELDS!! the tube it self gawe up!! like WTF!
lalben you can't say that is weak welds it snap in the middle of the bike my friend has a kona stinky and personally I DON'T LIKE IT but that is my opinion
7point5rider... i must agree! My friends stinky has had to be serviced like atleast twice a month, and he has only had it since christmas...
pretty bad, me thinks
pretty bad, me thinks
or, lllben, he just got a kona
or that is what you get for buying a kona. Either way.
New Kona Stinky! Now half price 
uh iv seen all types of bikes break similar to that, my friends headtube had a huge crack on his v10 last year
hahaha yea, a crack. this a straight up snap to both tubes 
thats one steep section! And yes any bike can break, i saw a brand new orange snap over a small set of doubles the last time i was spectating, but he could have had a bigger crash earlier.
that's what you get for riding a Kona
pretty sure those didn't break on the welds
nasty shit happens in contests 
damn
damn 
crazy riders kona is big shit !!! 
this is on youtube
anyway whats wrong with kona?
well apart from this
o man i have that bike and love it and it takes the abuse but i hope mine doesnt go like that im seriously worried now!!
On the pt.2 of the video (on youtube) we can see that the down side of the down tube is deformated to the sides. The upper tube not. I'm not shure but I think it might be something like hitting a tree. Or mayby the upper tube broke and he started to brake front brake really hard.
kona down hill bikes are terrible quality but the bikes them self feel pretty good
kona shite and suke pay for a specialized
sorry dude your bike is dead
Jesus, has anyone not heard of a speed hole?
i've had a stab supreme 7 now since they we're released... hasnt cracked... hasnt snapped... it's just... Kona is made for smooth riders, not people that try to land as hard as they can to bottom-out for a good photo... so stop saying kona is shit... i'll find you photos of specialized, santacruz, transition, ironhorse, scott's that have snapped, and honestly, that guy doesnt look to dirty for a guy that just cased so hard is frame snapped...
not saprised about a kona they suck
Kona ROc'k !!!!! Just Don't ride pro with kina bike
^^pretty much, but robbie bourdon did do the jaw drop on one, so they cant be that bad
umm that was bender on a karpeil
konas are good stop hating.....................any bike brand can snap like that ok .so stfu
have you ever seen an '08 specialized demo 8 do that? they literally ahve they strongest headtube. it can support god damn mini cooper on it
wtf did he do to brake that he must have dun somthing cuz it wouldnt usualy brake like that
kona are carp my stuff broke in five months from nothing
hahaha thats what u get for buying a kona
thats rich coming from a guy ith a norco
i actually seen a guy eat shit because his frame snapped.
DAMN KONA'S
DAMN KONA'S
duck tape should fix that
i dont like the duallies from kona dont like the susp. setup at all but because there is a few snapped konas dont mean they are the only bike in the world capable of snapping
theres kona for u lol
people got to stop hateing on konas im sure you can find pics of a diffrent company that has a snapped frame
Kona Stab is one of the nicest bikes i know of, but just to make my buddy frustrated:
There you really can see what kona really stands for ^^
There you really can see what kona really stands for ^^
rly other frames have snapped u dont know wat this guy does all the time its just bad luck
i dont partucully like konas but i know there f*kin awsome bikes and you are extremely unlucky if it snaps on you... strangely reading these comments im starting to like kona's???
Lol I can`t believe,that Kona is good company
*lol i can`t believe
Kona is the best firm on the world
Kona is the best firm on the world
does it really matter if its a kona or not?
the picture is sweet/funny!
the picture is sweet/funny!
and that my friend is why you dont ride kona
f*ck all people that hate kona's. You see the shit these bikes take in video parts in alot of dvds. You never know what this guy hit before it snapped
All you Kona haters are all need to shut up and stop bashing Konas.And the reason none of your frams snap is because your always to busy sitting around on the computer. His fram snaped because he was actully rideing his bike!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIGH, seeing as am always last to comment on things like this i might as well tigh up the hole god dam isssue, ok Kona bikes aint worth hating, there fun to ride and many people started on them but seriouly there not a very good bike company, sure if your on there team your be fine getting free repairs and replacments and all the tech u could ever need but what really counts is the realy people the realy riders and for this Kona fall behide companys like Specialised for Tech Value And Build Quality Trust me I compared my demo 7 To a stinky Primo and set aside the parts the frame of the kona felt weak when compared, Not saying Kona are shit because of this exact picture but seriouly there not good bikes you've just got to remember just because a pro rides for em it doesn't make the bike company any better Take seat peat He may ride a pedal ass friendly bike now with f*ck loads of tech but before he was on good on orange probably the most basic bikes you can buy and he still f*cking owned the feild
very very very good point
anybody have a pic or anything of a snapped yeti 303?
duct tape and chicken wire; it will be good as new
i just bought a kona now i am scared even though i love it
thats what you get for riding a kona
