$300.00 | | Purchased At: | bikestore dude | | Strengths: | Very good bike! I love it. Nice frame and geometry.
Strong as hell! | | Weaknesses: | Replace the pedals...they aren't that good. :(
The glow in the dark stickers comes of easy. | | Similar Products Used: | Other BMX bikes... | | Bike Setup: | Avid arch rival 40, Roox Seatpost, otherwise stock. | | Bottom Line: | I bought my BMX to become a better technical rider. I used to ride BMX a long long time ago, now i'm back in the BMX saddle again. And the Kona KuKu is a lot more fun to ride than any other BMX i've ridden. Good for DIRT jumping and some racing to. Very nice.
Get one for yourself to. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$375.00 | | Purchased At: | Duke's Cycle, Toronto | | Strengths: | Quality build, good specs and angles, GLOW IN THE DARK GRIPS & DECALS!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Weaknesses: | The pedals suck!
| | Similar Products Used: | Old school BMX bikes-Redline & GT. | | Bike Setup: | I have the "v-brake" canti-bosses, so I'm running a Shimano
XTR brake with a LX lever. The crank will be the next up-
grade. | | Bottom Line: | Bang for buck it's a fun bike to ride. I wanted to get back into BMX, but didn't want to spend a lot on a Hoffman or anything like that yet. It's taken some good hits, and the bike is holding up nicely. I wish the stock crank & pedals had been better, but the stock wheelset & tires are good-Sun Ditch-Witch's with over sized axled hubs & Maxxis tires.
The 2001's should be great! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: April 29, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Strengths: | solid frame, nice geometry, oversized axles are a nice bonus | | Weaknesses: | cheesy brake setup, overkill on the handlebar | | Similar Products Used: | gt fueler, s&m bennett, huffy tl88, infinity | | Bike Setup: | I rode the kona stock with 3/4" off each side of bars and pegs | | Bottom Line: | Unlike, the mama, which was a little bit confused, Kona did a great job with the kuku, as I mentioned, a two piece bar with a sturdy wall thickness would have been lighter, cheaper, and totally sufficient. The brake was alright but a 990 would have felt better. Overall, reaaly nice geometry and pretty well worth the money, maybe next year Kona will put the profile cranks and sprocket from the mama on the kuku and make a higher end version. A no holds-barred set up with this frame would definitely be sweet. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
