Curiousity, but I have a 2007 Kona Kikapu which i brought for a good price (i think) but it was for sale for ages on pinkbike with no real interest, it did need some tlc but it was kitted with old talas forks, and avid sevens and the bike comes with a rp2 as standard and yet no one bit? and now i have it i have become more brand aware (coming from a specialized, which are everywhere) and i haven't seen one similar on here and really only see the older generation of Konas in threads on here. Now i finally have found the time to give this one the tlc it needs and took it out and it felt great, really plush and i truely am glad i took the gamble on it, i hired an orange 5 for a day at glentress and would say theres nothing major different in quality, apart from this feels lighter. But is there a reason for the apparent lack of konas? i know the kikapu was discontinued (i dunno why!) but still!

got an 06 Caldera in very nice shade of gold allways wanted one when they first come out back in the day can still remember the Cinder cone with splatter paint job wanted one so bad, didn't pay full price for mine and have upgraded parts over the 3 years ive had it and its now just about where i want it(just ordered a set of Reba's for it)i like the way it rides and for me being a bit on the large side it's bombproof.

they were always going to struggle to maintain the standards set by the URT-tastic Y-Bikes 😀
