depends...
what are you going to be riding?
what is your riding style?
its a good bike and definitely fun to ride, but a bit hard to pedal cause of its geometry and long travel
super good on the downs tho,

I'd stay away from Konas. Their mass produce bikes usually fail in the long term.

Try to find a 2015 or ‘16 process 167. It’s pretty much the entourage 2.0 with great geo, 26”, and will get you to the top way easier. And as far as quality, kona’s come a long way and has had some of the best geo since their process line in 2013. Finally companies are starting to catch up 5 years later in that regard. They also started the short travel aggro 29er craze with the 111, another incredible bike. People are still hucking stinkys so I’d say that’s prettt good as far as “long term”.

The Processes and HTs are the only decent bike that they make from Kona, as the new 17/18 Operators still have a tendency to have a cracked frame.
