I can't stop looking at this picture. My girlfriend said I think the bike is more interesting than her... I didn't disagree

GoRideYoBike (Feb 22, 2013 at 14:42)

Loving the integrated bumpers.

Coming back swinging?

tworldsmine (Feb 22, 2013 at 15:26)

It almost looks plastic-lego-like... But sexy as hell- that rocker arm- wow !

MadddMaxxx (Mar 2, 2013 at 13:36)

I'm usually not a big fan of Kona's but this one...is f*cking sick! Wish I'd have one...

I've had my hart set on a carbon demo for a while now but now that I've seen this I think ill have to

JamesMX01 (Apr 11, 2013 at 14:30)

Kona have made some very bad bikes in the past *i snapped a Kona in half!* but this really shows how much Kona have come on and improved!

dh-bomber (Feb 22, 2013 at 21:40)

looks nice with the straight top tube and bottom tube... carbon to kona's game should be better then the 7005 aluminum

nouser (Feb 23, 2013 at 6:34)

Wow. What a sickkkkkk. Bike. Props guys

bikin4life (Feb 24, 2013 at 8:02)

I like it, but i still thinks that 05 Konas were the best bikes they ever made...

Sex on wheels

Bennyy4x (Feb 22, 2013 at 14:48)

Looks so nice!

seraph (Feb 22, 2013 at 15:41)

Is that a Pivotal post?

voltagerider (Feb 24, 2013 at 18:48)

yessir its pretty nice

jumpman2334 (Mar 8, 2013 at 11:55)

pivitols ftw, ill be ordering my supreme operator (frame only) later today and you bet your sweet ass its getting a pivitol on it! =)

IMO- theyre kinda like the i beam seat/post combo (w/ obvious differences), cept without the cost

boss808 (Feb 22, 2013 at 16:59)

now i dont know if i would pay that much for a kona

MikeMarkov (Feb 22, 2013 at 19:59)

If it's going for the same price as a session 9.9 or carbon demo.. Majority of riders would chose those bikes over the kona. Still I really like the look and personally I think it has a good chance against other carbon DH rigs.

chrisclifford (Feb 24, 2013 at 10:06)

Let's wait for the release and see how it rides. Hopefully riders will choose their bike based on that rather than some dumb stereotype

semaj (Feb 22, 2013 at 20:46)

Looks like a hardtail

dennisbarrera (Feb 23, 2013 at 3:31)

mossman-uk (Feb 23, 2013 at 5:40)

That looks Sick! The new Konas are proper nice.

rhino721 (Feb 23, 2013 at 8:17)
