My mate is looking to get a new bike, an improvement on the scott yz3 he has now, he wants a bike to do a bit of everything, more aimed at DJ but can do others too, so i instantly thought kona jump bike range (scrap, shred etc.) and he likes the idea. I know theyre good bikes, although never owning one, but how have they gone up in price so much? im sure they used to hover around the £500 mark, but looking at CRC, the one with the only really tidy spec is £799.99!! then the one lower is £699.99 and thats with mechanical brakes, and a spec I personally dont think warrants that much money.

So bottom line, anyone recommend a bike thats better spec for that money? because 700 quid to get pants brakes etc. whats the mongoose range like? any others recommended?
oh well, rant over! thanks! :D
