    Some nice looking bikes on there.

    I used to love kona's back in the 90's, my mate had the Explosif. I had never really considered buying one but looking at a few of those on the website they look really nice, especially the 29er range. Might get my daughter the kids stinky! 8)

    the new range looks good, loving the look of the supreme operator.

    This will be a beauty, the geo is right up my street. Maybe as good as my Yelli

    I had a go on one of those Abdacadabra things at bikeradar live and it was very good, feels a lot lighter than it is and the magic link thing works well, not sure how it would perform caked in mud though.

    Sorry, but £1200 for the Caldera with a silver fork and part Deore drive train / brakes?! Thats just madness.

    I love Kona (being the bikes that got me into Mountain Biking), but there is no way I would pay that much for that bike! You can get a Canyon Nerve XC full sus for £100 more with far better spec. Ok, so I know that its direct sale, which isnt ideal, but really, I think you would have to be bonkers to buy the Kona instead :(:(

    Some seem decent. Some have prices beyond belief:

    Those prices... Unbelievable behaviour from Kona!

    Although saying that, in the last 5 years especially there's been a massive hike in all bike component prices... XTR Cranks = £400+ what a joke!

    :shock: That is some of the most ridiculous pricing I've seen £1200 for the same spec as my pub bike that I bought at xmas for £220??? (Carrera vengeance) It's laughable, some of those bikes you can buy the bits off the shelf for cheaper. I guarantee they will be flogging them @ 50% off in a years time

    good lord those things are hideous. (yes, i do realise i own the 2 ugliest bikes ever made)

    are Kona a big brand elsewhere in the world, they have a massive range of bikes, but almost no one rides them.
