geo on kona downhill bikes are pretty good.. maybe you had the suspension setup bad?

Don't get the Kona, they break. The only bike I saw all race season broken was that same model of Kona. The frame was buckled from casing a jump but the wheels and fork were both completely fine.

Thats true, konas break, but so do giants, transitions, coves, commencials, treks, specializeds, marins, iron horses, KHSs, mongooses, cannondales, along with every other bike out there...

Sorry, Ill be more specific.... they break a lot easier then other bikes out there. But if you want to waste your money it doesn't matter to me.
