What Kona has done here is set the bar for a rideable (pushing your bike to a trailhead is NOT mountain biking!), playful, and full-on shreddable trail bike that most people will be able to take whatever you can point it towards. It's not a DH bike. It's not an XC bike. It's a fucking mountain bike that absolutely rips down the trail! The trail that this bike was "tested" on most of the readers would think twice about riding. Good NW gnarly. You need to get over the media hype of wheel size too. It's all geometry and rider ability. Props to Kona for making a platform and a line of bikes what will surely be a huge splash this year!
