Strengths:    the chute is sweet. it is very stiff so when you are hamering turns, no flex. it has a nice comfy length top tube so it is not to tight and not to long. you can point this thing at any jump, drop, gap anything you can find, it holds it's own

Weaknesses:    you have a hard time fitting big tires in the rear end.that is the only one that i have come across

Bottom Line:   
this bike kicks ass. i haven't found anything to stop it yet and i am still trying. kind of on the pricey side, but i felt it was well worth the money. only the serious need to apply, this bike only likes to be ridden hard.

Submitted by Matt H a Racer from Coquitlam b.c.

Date Reviewed: April 4, 1999

Strengths:    
Beautifully crafted frame, has extra gussets at the head tube for dual-crowns, this thing has an indistructable frame.


Weaknesses:    
none yet, unless your care about weight!


Bottom Line:   
This is a strong bike meant for high speeds, it can take corners and jumps just as well as a full suspension could, the geometry is meant for DS so dont expect the climbing of an xc rig expect the stability of dh rig!!! Since there is no pic above here's one...

Question about Kona Chute

Someone is selling a frame and I did a search on Bikepedia and it only shows the Chute in production up to 2002. Is the chute an entry-level frame and is it an XC or DJ frame?   Read More »
