i love that marz brought back the older stickering on the lowers.

at least marzocchis are looking decent again.

yeah, hammershmit!

love the hammershmit crank!

kona has to step it up and make a new design, all they have bine doing is riding on there old rep. When i say make a new design i mean from scratch. Not this stuff where they take the frame and lighten it up. Then its the next model down, what is that. I say dont buy a kona unless you want to be dissapointed.

i totally disagree. i have owned bikes with dw-link, vpp, horst, you name it, and i still think single pivot and 4-bar designs ride the best. kona rocks. and transition is finding single pivots are the way to go.

love it wish i had the cash.

All of you kids who keep commenting that Kona needs to "step up" and make a completely new disign need to get a clue. Do you think that Honda completely re-designs their dirt bike line up every year??? No. They make small improvements as they are necessary and their dirt bikes EVOLVE. A large part of the reason that mountain bikes cost so much is because most companies are convinced that they need to re-invent their line up every year to stay on top. The simple fact of the matter is that Kona's rear suspension design is an extremely well proven one and there is absoulutely no need for them to change it.

one time i saw a kona stinky locked through its single speed wheels. i almost stole it but some people sat on the bench it was near. i hope someone did steal it it looked like it was being used for transportation solely. High ass seat, roadie style bars, pedals with the plastic top for your shoes.. pissed me off so much
