I would personally say the geometry and suspension design of their bikes is flawed. Plus, you can get bikes at the same price that offer more than Kona bikes do. Can't really see any upside to Kona, so I take their brand negatively.

because a kona is most relayted to begginer riders and i have also seen a lot of pics of broken konas. And it is one of the most popular bikes out there but now i think transition is going to become the new kona. I am not saying ethere company suck but where i live the people that ride these brands most of the time are rich kids that cant do anything and think a kona stinky is ment to be riden on paved trails.

I agree with that. I have never ridden one though. So I cant be certain. But the technology seems old
