I can't stop looking at this picture. My girlfriend said I think the bike is more interesting than her... I didn't disagree

If it's going for the same price as a session 9.9 or carbon demo.. Majority of riders would chose those bikes over the kona. Still I really like the look and personally I think it has a good chance against other carbon DH rigs.

Let's wait for the release and see how it rides. Hopefully riders will choose their bike based on that rather than some dumb stereotype
