Kona's are sick. Really good bikes. I am all for them but I would still suggest getting a flatline. A Kona would be a sick 2nd bike to have. But dont get a mongoose. Look into a norco a-line too.

its not a great suspension design..
there are better bikes than the stinky for the money
like what
like a bottle rocket, a rocky mountain flatline.. even the mongoose pinnr..its super cheap and pretty good spec for the price.. the stinky is single pivot which means itll be meant for bigger hits and not so much smaller bumps and what not but if you want a stinky at least get the deluxe

What are you talking about its a single pivot design. Its 4 link.

the swing arm on a single pivot is connected to one pivot. On the konas there are 4 pivots.

I don't hate Kona... Kona just hates everyone who rides them.
