They still have to pay specialized to for the FSR patent on all of their VPS bikes, unless they have changed something in the last year or two.

You have, like... no credibility at all.

What you said is either completely false, or your personal opinion.

Also, we're comparing the 09 Shore to the 09 Stinky, so the fact that you rode an 06 Shore and didn't like it is doubly useless.

Way to go.

Kona has a bad rep for being junk but the new shores are probably bigger junk they just look nice and seem lighter. Still go for the shore though, kona's are crap.

what a load of bull shit

I agree. Everything nowadays is crap apparently. Everyone who says stuff like that should shut up and buy a 2001 bike, ride that, and then compare it to a modern bike.

Norco Shore hands down!! The Kona Stinky is ok but not anything special. Personally I dont like the way the hee new Kona has that stupid rear suspension bar thing whatever it is that sticks out the base of the frame. It gets hung up on everything, i know i had one.

VPS has nothing to do with the horst link though. It has to do with where you mount the shock shuttle and the shock shaft on the link. VPS is for travel+geometry changes, not wheel path.

Oh and get the Shore!!!

Ok so I think pretty much eveyone concedes that the norco shore is better. We should end this thread it is geting f-ing old.
