Duration Product Used:

Coats
Strengths:
Very nice wheels, excellent suspension. Overall components are very nice.
Weaknesses:
Very cheap plastic tabs to route cables, seat post is perfectly straight which forces the rider to far forward, almost like your ridding a unicycle, hand grips are too hard, frame only allows for one water bottle cage and I don't like to use camel backs so this is a problem
Bottom Line:
Great components, love the Mavic wheels but for a bike that cost this much it should not feel like cable routing was an afterthought also with the seat adjusted as far back as it could go, the seat post is so straight that there is no way this bike could fit any normal human. Each time I get on the bike I can't help but wonder what the guys at Kona were thinking.
