 i havent ridden the bike yet so i cant judge but it seems like kona could have done a better job with the component spec....but other than that id like to try it out and see how it rides

 aaaaaannnd kona makes yet another faux-bar design. just with swoopy bars this time Wink

and no dope system. i guess they figured they'd rather have brake jack than an overhyped floating brake mount.

 I would have thought a freeride/downhill bike would come with a chain guide?

 Not going to judge this until i see it in front of me. Most bikes always looks better in flash like the 2009 Norco team dh. I'm sure this one will too.

 Ugly but has good geometry,do you think I could transform it into a SS bike??
  • 1 0
 Yes...

 how can U say that this bike can be converted to single speed??
it has got 200 mm travel so probably none of the chain tensioners will be able to work...

 Slope style.... not single speed.

 aaaaaa,ok... that was my second thought... Smile

 whats with kona's dis-figured seat tubes?
  • 1 3
 where else do u think they shud put it? looks like there is a shock in the way to me, to put it anywhere else.
  • 1 0
 what i mean is, why is the seat tube is always apart from the second seat tube below it.. its like that on alot of konas...
  • 1 0
 and my point is their shock positioning makes that necessary.
  • 1 0
 ... well i guess your kinda right on that
