I took the Kona out last night.
2 Things.
1. Riding on the road with that bike is futile. I spin like a mofo, the bike actually ends up bouncing all over the place like it has shocks... Its kinda funny.
2. Once you get into the dirt, its cheating.
Its a good gear in the dirt so far, maybe even a bit too easy. I attacked the shit out of the hill that I couldn't do at 312. I think it was probably the fastest climb I've ever done on it. It also trucks through mud, fire road, single track whatever, it just trucks. It feels like a truck. It red lines over things like a truck, it just feels so natural to ride.
And its mad whippy. I can maneuver the bike around without any trouble, bring up the front end to move over stuff, and bunny hop most logs now.
And for being full rigid, its crazy comfortable to ride...
Its cheating. But i'll let you know in my first race how it works out.
Feels like cheating... could be fooling myself, never know.
