DaveKona Date Reviewed: February 23, 2013 Strengths: The geometry has a great overall/do everything feel to it. The head angle is slack enough for the average speedy down hill section while it can still handle a climb without entirely wasting all your energy. Weaknesses: I researched the bike and known issues before purchase and heard of the shock being the "weak link" on the bike. Sure enough, the very first ride the shock started leaking oil. However, Kona had a replacement in my hands immediately. The replacement shock has taken plenty of beatings and still going strong with no issues. Replaced Ardent tires within two rides as they could not handle cornering. Upgraded to Specialized Captain and Control....faster and more predictable. Bottom Line:
