Kona Entourage
This bike eats everything you throw at it with the help of the Rock Shox Domain on the front and Fox Van R on the back. I came up short on a step down at the weekend and thought it was going to end in tears but the bike just soaked it all up and I continued down the run.
Pros: Excellent spec for the price, short back end means you can whip it about
Cons: Uncomfortable seat... but if you are sitting down you're doing it wrong

So I really like this bike. It's very playful for me it's the perfect 26 inches bike!! I also won a race with the Kona.

Introducing the all-new downhill/bike park/big-mountain-specific, down-addicted destroyer: the Entourage. In essence, it's a smaller-travel (170mm) Operator redesigned into a tighter package, with radically shorter stays for quick turns, spins and all-around freeriding (new word we made up), with a low BB and slack HA for stability. Built with performance durability and worlds of fun and speed in mind, hit everything you would on the big bike, but fall in love with the Entourage's nimbleness and maneuverability. Just ask Kona Team Gravity Rider Graham Aggasiz.
