2013 Kona Operator Bike
The Good

Has a great light build that can handle anything that you throw at it I have raced 5 races in all diffirent conditions and this bike really surprised me on how well it tracks through gnarly stuff. The bike jumps like and dream shredding down a classic trail like "A-line" and has great simple...

The Bad

I really can not say any bad things about it, it was the perfect bike for that suited my riding style. Being a 4-Bar suspension design, it is harder to pedal that other bikes but with the right suspension setup it can be heavily reduced

Overall Review
Overall the bike felt amazing and easy to ride right as I first pedaled it around. The bike handles great on steep gnarly stuff and flying through the air. I love this bike and was defiantly the best bike I have ever rode and would recommend it to anyone

2013 Kona Supreme Operator Bike
The Good

Feels like a true DH bike on the gnarly, but somehow is extremely flick-able in the air and on the ground. I rode this bike at Trestle Bike Park and I could not be happier with it. Its so good that I rented it twice! I rode every trail that Trestle has to offer, jump trails, freeride trails, pedally...

The Bad

Overall Review
I could not be more pleased with this bike. I even pulled a Danny Hart whip on the slopestyle coarse at Crankworx Colorado!!

2013 Kona Abra Cadabra Bike
The Good

I love my 2011 Ab Cab... IT JUST READS MY MIND..its fast, agile, climbs like a fiend and decsends with authority, Low maintenance so far ~ 6-7 months old.

The Bad

2012's get 143mm-12mm rear treatment. Doesnt bunnyhop as intuitively as you would like. The FOX Fork has no compression adjustment but does lock out.

Overall Review
SICK BIKE...Im constantly impressed with it.

2013 Kona Abra Cadabra Bike
The Good

Great Setup with the magic link. Good components, Real pleasure to ride. Great looks really clean.

The Bad

Handle bar could do with being a little stronger and a better saddle. Could do with a bolt through rear wheel. Tyres are great but the sidewalls rip easy when riding hard, on rocks/roots.

Overall Review
Great bike for all day riding. The versatility of this bike is incredible cross country big technical asscents and decents this thing soaks it all up. Talas fork is great and the propedal really stiffens up the back end for flat riding. Cross country, downhill, 4X, trail riding, this is the machine for all.

2011 Kona Five-0 Bike
The Good

Decent front end (travel, usable 68 degreeHT angle and 20mm axle).

The Bad

Heavy, so-so parts, ISIS BB, Better with Hussefelt Howitzer and X7 surely?

Overall Review
Have the 2009 bike, this bike to me doesn't seem much like a DJ/urban bike, but it does seem like a light free-ride bike. To me if you want a hard-tail why not a 4x bike or maybe a Giant STP or SC Chameleon?
