Strengths: a lot of travel, fun to ride,Weaknesses: This weekend my frame broke just above the cranks due to a bad welding seam.Bottom Line: I had a lot of fun with the bike till now, but if you pay that much money it shouldn´t brak apart after two years. (It wasn´t new when I bought it.) Thiw was definetly the last Kona for me. I can´t afford a new one!

Strengths: it's a monster, period. Nice forks, super plush, has front changer, and bash ring. through axle rear hub. nice Mavic rims. 8" rotors fr. and rr. I like the 2.5 tioga's.Weaknesses: Price (OUCH!)
for the price it should be full xtr.
bobs pretty bad
The 8 inchers were squealers.Bottom Line: I only demo'ed it and couldn't find any really nasty drops, but found an ok set of stairs. I don't think that the stair drop used even half of the travel. It's a killer up the hills, but you just have to slide back in the couch of a seat and pedal slowly and steadily, and it'll get you up the hill. You won't run out of traction goin' up with those big meats! I wish I could've found some nastier down hills, I know it would have roasted down them.
I'll only give it three for value 'cause 4 and a half G's is a lot of money.
Favorite Trail: aint tellin'
Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only
Similar Products Used: Stinky primo (very nice hard core trail machine, my dream bike).
Bike Setup: Just stock (which is killer).

Fox Vanilla RC
Marzocchi Shiver
Linkage systemWeaknesses: Front derailleur (should have a dh chain guide)
Shimano Deore XT shifters (should have XTR)
Bottom Line: Top value for money on a very reliable fr/dh bike, stiff as hell, plenty of travel, sharp handling, absorbs all kinds of drops big and small, and most of all, plusher than your couch at home!
Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only
