a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: January 17, 2013 Strengths: kona covered every aspect of this bike impeccably, the bike is a dream machine in comparison with other bikes in the same category. With how light and responsive the frame is, climbing is a breeze...use the propedal and wait for your buddies on top. PLEASE note that i bought the frame and built this bike myself with similar but higher up components Weaknesses: stock wheels are a bit weak for it to be on their "race" category but i'm sure Kona did this to keep the bike well priced Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Gambrill State Park Duration Product Used: 2 years Price Paid: $800.00 Purchased At: cambria Similar Products Used: kona kikapu deluxe Bike Setup: Monitou R7 fork Chris king/mavic UST wheelset maxxis UST tires Avid elixir CR brakes easton XC90 bars/odi lock grips XT shifters, chain, cassette, derrailleurs Noir carbon cranks XTR pedals

from Whidbey Island, WA Date Reviewed: April 25, 2010 Strengths: Frame, shock, fork. Almost light for a full suss. Excellent trail manners on most technical trails, up and down. Capable of light freeride if the mood strikes. Weaknesses: Wheelset and many stock components that need upgraded to be really considered a race rig. Included pedals are not needed, apply more effort on wheels or cassette. Cup and cone bearing headset. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: PNW Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: LBS - Bicycles North Similar Products Used: Kona Dawg, Specialized FSR, several hard tails. Bike Setup: Mostly stock added so far - WTB Ti saddle, Hayes Stroker Trail brakes, Easton Monkey Light carbon bar, XT cassette, XT shifters

from Victoria, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: January 15, 2010 Strengths: Climbs great. Soaks up the bumps without feeling 'cushy' like a 5+5, very responsive. Light steering but not jittery. Weaknesses: The stock tires aren't so good for the wet, rooty, rocky, muddy conditions during winter on the West Coast. Shift levers too short and causes you to have your fingers jambed up against the brake housing, will need to remedy this. Can't adjust the placement of the brakes/shifters to accomodate more room for the hands. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Kupdemuff, Nanaimo BC Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $2900.00 Purchased At: Russ Haye's, Victori Similar Products Used: 2002 King Kikapu Bike Setup: Stock at this point other than Thompson seat post and seat, will be swapping out the tires asap.
