Strengths: Super lightweight anround 10kg. Pedals great with propedal on. Usies its travel perfectly. Superfast.Weaknesses: Forks are scary. The sid race flexs like mad and i have just had to send mine off because they have broken internally. Warranty is covering it though.Bottom Line: This bike is brilliant. The weight and pedaling ability is superb as you fly up the hills and knock minutes off your PB's. Although there is only 65mm of travel at the rear you wouldn't know as it uses it optimumly. You will be amazed how much it actually does. I raced it in my first ever xc event and finished 3rd in the Midlands xc. I would recomend putting a pair of nobby nics 1.8 inch tyres on it as it makes it super fast through anything and means you can ride straight through the deepest bogs. Absolutley love it.
Favorite Trail: All steep and hilly ones.

Strengths: Light weight, suspension works great, really confortable and handles great on decents and a good climber. Its a fast bike !!!!!!Weaknesses: None found yetBottom Line: For the price paid this bike is really awesome. It not only provides a confortable ride but the bike handles really good. Comes with a R.S. Reba Race fork that works great on roots and rocks. A great climber as well. I feel very confident on how it grips the trial. I really enjoy riding this bike.

Strengths: Super light and looks amazing. Suspension feels like a DH rig on the decents.Weaknesses: The bike is a little flexy. Can't tune the shock not to bob when pedaling hard. My old Element was super efficient but the Kona isn't nearly as efficient.Bottom Line: This bike is super light (frame under 5 lbs). Looks amazing. Bombs decents and carves corners a new one. Really good value for what you get. I wish the bike pedaled a little better but its still smoking fast. Bottom line...almost as fast as it looks!
