when i used to mountain bike i rode an overweight ten tonne DH hardtail frankenstein bike so this shudnt feel TOOO heavy

costing 1300 wich i never thought id spend on a bike :S

only negatives ive read in some reviews are the forks arent too good with small bumps but im pretty sure i wont notice that since im a noob to suspension.

i couldnt think ofanything better within my budget for DH/freeride,maybe the specialized big hit but i think the new ones are FUGLY[/QUOTE]

Just set it up not to bottom hard......seen a few with bent linkage plates. The new 07 one has solid plates compared to the cnc'd out ones on the 2006 because of this. I want an 07 stinky primo in that pink colour :eek:

pfft i want the gold one.

the rims baby oh the rims are FINE

The Kona 2007 range is pretty much the same as the 06 bikes with new colours. I guess if something works then why change it.

View the 2007 range here : http://www.konaworld.com/bikes/2k7/index.html

Yeh, they're sr mtx's on the stinky, but those are sr demons on the primo. Personally I like the look of DeeMax .

Sun s types on the primo........basically an oem mtx which is pinned at the join and not welded.


The 2007 stinky basically the same as the 2006 but with the solid linkage and IBS on them all i think(maybe not the standard stinky).

Basically it was a bad batch on 2006 ones.....some 2006 ones have solid linkage.

Heres the bad ones.

Oops yeh mybad, I presume they're MTX-s's, I was thinking of the hub when I said demon's lol :\.

I cannot for the life of me work out how the rear shock works on that. Does it stretch it out or something? Can't see how it would turn the up movement into compressing the shock.

Looks pretty special though


RL: That bike looks great

(My avalance 2 disc would clearly destroy it though )

You'll want to stick about three cable ties on the Chainstray (sic ) protector, like one in the middle and one at each end, or it'll fall off
