I found this picture of Cowan on his FS bike over at Pinkbike. There are also some other great action pics there if you want to check them out.

looks very similar to a coiler

Probably a short travel size 15" Coiler like frame with a super stiff spring.
They'll probably mount the rotor tabs on there too.

Kona is supposed to bring out that frame as a Cowan FS. If you go to kona.dk, it's listed under pre-release bikes. Here's the link:

I saw that bike in Marquette MI a few weeks before the Monster Park event. The frame has the same main pivot around the BB as the Kona A; hence the ability to run it as a singlespeed. I'm pretty sure it's a 15" frame because it felt super small when I sat on it. It was reasonably light as well, maybe 32-33lb. Super cool bike.

By the way ,is the Kona A the same frame the Dawg has ?

I'm pretty sure that isn't a production bike. And the A frame is more a singlespeed Kikapu than a Dawg.

I'd say "The King" is more like the Kikapu ,but the "A" is quite different. But that's just my opinion. For what kind of riding would you suggest the "A" for ?
