Strengths:
Light, fast, good climber, great response. This bike is a great all rounder, the frame is superb and the angles are perfect, for me anyway... 5,11 using a medium sized frame. She whoooerss down hill with great confidence like a mountain goat.
Weaknesses:
found the wheels to knock out of whack a little easily a times and the magura marta discs have a tendency to go soft, but not enough to deter you.
Similar Products Used:
trek, 3 konas: bast, muni mula, kula.
Bike Setup:
replaced the BB and drive train with a RaceFace setup a bit stonger and more fluid but a bit heavier, but in turn gives you more confidence. put 2.2 specialized enduro pros on it... came with explorers... personal choice.
Bottom Line:
great bike all round as said already. I have owned three Konas before and find this bike outstrips them in all categories. Replacing the BB and drive train proved to increase the bikes overall capabilities. Great paint job.
