i hate Konas just the way they feel ride and look but i must admit i have never seen this before, must have took some doing.
i love konas, i think they feel really nice. aleast the new ones do. im sure you could find like a snapped specialized if you looked for it.
the old KONA s are soo good..but the new ones..just crap...i like kona..but not any more

soory 2 see this....makes me sad..
if u havnt noticed all frames will snap, and the most regularly snapped dh frame that i know of is the specialized demo, i alone know 2 possibly 3 people with demos that have a crack in them!!
well il admit soem koans are shit just like any toher bike companie,im not even jolking my cowan ds i think is better then other bike of its kind. bb pivot to alow singlspeed,just an increadble bike built up its 32 pounds!!!! its a dualy
evilchinevil do u understand the differance between a crack and a clean snap straight through 2 frame tubes?
the demo 8 had a known fault on it and many of them snapped and cracked! spesh arent all there cracked up to be either
that realy amazes me because every pro with a demo never brakes the frame and on stunt junkies claw showed you how much presure it takes to bend a demo,you would probaly brake your bones first,that doesnt mean a demo wont snap but it means its one of the stronger frames you can get which brings me to the possible conclusion perhaps riders buy a bike thats beefy because there very unsmooth and after a couple years that will take its toll on any frame. i dont dought the possibilty of a fault but what year/years was that fault?
Man it's Kona... they do suck I mean what are you expecting when you ride a MADE IN VIETNAM/TAIWAN bike??? same with Norco man
hoshi its ironic in your dp your wearing a kona jersey. And my mates 99 kona stinky deeluxe was stuck in a bin after snapping on the seat tube, was welded back together and has only just snapped. i mean nearly 10 years of abuse with a weld in an area with a lot of stress? where the main bushing for the rocker sits? surely thats an example kona should be proud of. i think this guy was just unlucky and had a big crash.
agreed, i had a 1999 stab delux and i flat landed from 2+ meter up so many time i lost count and generally hacked like a red headed step child over my 1st year riding(last year) and it never coughed even once, 2 dents in the frame and 8 years of constant racing all the way from world cup races then winning national and provincial championships before its rider was killed in a car crash and i bought the bike..
Will people please stop making generic comments such as "thats Kona for you" i think i have seen that comment posted 3 - 4 times on this pic.
ok look i don't like kona as well but i have to say every bike has its ups and downs and u don't see every kona snap and u don't see every demo snap and so on with any brad its alot of how hard u ride how well u treat ur bike and if u land wrong and the frame isnt made to take that pressure that way there is a good chance of braking parts just like with anything else for eg. cars there better in head on collisions but if they get hit from the side there not meant to take that and stuff brakes, so stop scraping over whats better its how u treat the bike.
