hey 'jackass', looks nothing like it. for one, this is a bass, not a stinky. two, you have 66, this has dj's. 3, this is singlespeed, yours is geared.
last but not least, this bike is dialed, your's is not, go home.
evilrydr for starters it a sLinky not a stinky! mine also is single speed jsut a tensioner on it! mine is almost exactly the same! chrome, white components, just a bigger brother!
All of you kids who keep commenting that Kona needs to "step up" and make a completely new disign need to get a clue. Do you think that Honda completely re-designs their dirt bike line up every year??? No. They make small improvements as they are necessary and their dirt bikes EVOLVE. A large part of the reason that mountain bikes cost so much is because most companies are convinced that they need to re-invent their line up every year to stay on top. The simple fact of the matter is that Kona's rear suspension design is an extremely well proven one and there is absoulutely no need for them to change it.
it just bothers me that companies label their yearly model "all-new" ,, seriously its not they are lying to themselves and the customers, all new means everything redesigned from the ground up, not new paints, components or small changes like geometry or headtubes,,, it annoying just to make uninformed ignorant consumers like us buy it.
why do they always do white backgrounds? it never gives a bike justice of how it actualy looks. they should just take a picture of it outside with a nice scenery ... would definetly sell better as it would look a hell of a lot nicer.
sick bike. sick colour scheme. kona did good on this one. but i wish they could make it like norco did on the empire 5 like se and reg so the price could come down. my 2 cents
Wow. Looks 100% better than previous years. However I dont know why all the companies are making that funny headtube design. Santa Cruz, Norco, Kona. Hm...
