Hi, What to people think of the Kona Cnder Tone as an upgrade from a first bike?

I ride mainly cross county and downhill x

I'd appreciate any thoughts, Thanks xx

    i bought one of these as my first proper bike (in 2004). Great bike in my opinion for cross country. Wouldnt be attempting any DH courses on it though...

    Apart from someone saying that Kona was a good brand, cant help, sorry.

    Bought a Kona for my lad last year, down from 300 to 150 or something, thought it was just a chain store thing, but I now know that I did get a bargain.

    What about the Kona cinder guys?

    Sorry, but the spec is poor for a bike of its price - so many better bikes out there!

    Is this still valid when it is heaviliy discounted?

    Not really. Test if you can, but it has some big drawbacks.
