Product Description
At Kona we know there are those nut jobs out there who still like to climb before they huck. This year's Stinky TL is a repurposed version of our legendary freeride bike designed for such "multiculturalism." With all the durability of a park bike, joined with the spec to go to the top thanks to a dual front chain ring with an E*Thirteen Heim2 chain guide, rest assured you can go big both ways. Super powerful Avid Elixir brakes, RockShox Domain fork, and a sturdy 12mm rear end.

Fork: Rock Shox Domain R CL 160mm w/20mm TA

Strengths: Very confidence inducing. Suspension is plush and active (even when braking) and the componentry set up on the stock bike is mostly decent.Weaknesses: Shifters (SRAM X-5s), Hubs (Formula generic), rear shock (Kona Fastrax).Bottom Line: The bike is awesome, but in order to keep it affordable, Kona made some sacrifices were in the less visible areas (like the hubs). The stock parts won't break after a short time, they're just bottom of the functional spectrum. They get the job done but are by no means nice.
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$2165.00
Purchased At: Beaver Sports
Bike Setup: Replacement Parts: RockShox Vivid RC2, SRAM X-9 hubs, Syncros DS32 rims, Truvative Husselfelt (white) handlebar, X-0 shifters. I'll be throwing on a U-Turn adjustor for the RS Domain fork after a while.
