Product Description

The Stinky Air is our newest addition to the Stinky family, and is viewed as the ultimate Freeride bicycle by the top athletes in the world. Our long standing, global reputation as innovators of the Freeride movement has culminated in developing this “best of breed” design ridden by our International Kona Clump Freeride Team. In short … this is the Stinky(est) of the Stinky(s).

Strengths:    09 kona stinky air. very beefy and kind if heavy but looks like it will last a while. has 1.5 headtube which seems better than the 1-1/8 because the front doesnt drift like previous Stinkys. has the DOPE rear floating brake set up.

Weaknesses:    the cost. I bought just the frame and even that wasnt cheap. The whole bike costs $6000, closeout price is like $4700.
No front derailleur mounts.

Bottom Line:   
really heavy duty, & with the right tires it goes pretty fast.
also what is great is that nobody has one, at least I never saw one in the past few months. so its not very common.

Strengths:    Great geometry,stable at speed,good jumper

Weaknesses:    Came with all mountain stem and bars(this is supposed to be a free ride bike).it`s expensive.

Bottom Line:   
Good bike with great components(- the stem and bars).the D.O.P.E. system works great.I just don`t think this thing should have all mountain components on it.who wants to spend 4500 on a bike and have to upgrade anything on?(for the guys goin` big), so 4 flamers for me.
