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
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.
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...
aaaaaa,ok... that was my second thought... U;re right then,should be pretty sick Slope bike. with air shock on the rear and maybe 36 Float 180mm up front...
^^really? i bet if you didnt know it was kona you wouldnt say that. Im not saying im a fan of kona, but its a decent looking bike, especially that shiny ass frame, and besides, much nicer than previous years.
idk the newer konas are looking better but I wonder how they ride. I don't think they've ever felt good and I bet the tons of broken pictures are around because kona is the most marketed bike. Is that a fact? Besides specialized, everyone that doesn't know much about mountainbiking goes with kona cause they're a little cheaper
i test rode this bike around at my local kona dealer and it the best kona ive ever ridden. beside the 2009 bass, but this im am certain that you will not break this thing, once you see it in real life you see how fat the tubes are and how beefy the head tube is, i would give some one 10 bucks if they actually broke this ridding on fr trail, but not like throwing around, actually ridding it!
