Product Description

Introducing the all-new downhill/bike park/big-mountain-specific, down-addicted destroyer: the Entourage. In essence, it's a smaller-travel (170mm) Operator redesigned into a tighter package, with radically shorter stays for quick turns, spins and all-around freeriding (new word we made up), with a low BB and slack HA for stability. Built with performance durability and worlds of fun and speed in mind, hit everything you would on the big bike, but fall in love with the Entourage's nimbleness and maneuverability. Just ask Kona Team Gravity Rider Graham Aggasiz.

  • Custom 170mm RockShox Domain R CL fork
  • Avid Code R brakes
  • SRAM X-7 rear derailleur
  • Fox Van R rear shock

    Strengths:    Nice looking bike, comes off the shelf with wide 780mm bars, head angle 65°, short chainstays, decent weight. Agile.

    Weaknesses:    Low end sram shifter & derailleur, cheap pedals, cheap grips that were disintergrating in my hands.

    Bottom Line:   
    Bike felt great. The short chainstays make manuals a lot easier. When in the air, the bike feels lighter than expected. 65° head angle gives you lots of confidence, almost makes it feel like a mini DH more than a freeride bike. Didn't do any uphill, but shes solid on the flat and down. Would've liked a fork with some adjustment over the basic Domains, but it was a pretty well balanced ride. If you're a freerider or if you're a downhiller who likes a challenge check this bike out. Very agile. Good bike, and a huge step into the present by Kona. Great stuff.
