[Closed] New Kona 29er

their tyre/wheel alignment is shocking and their rockery is a all over the place.

no one from stw will buy one.

What kind of rims are those?difficult to make out

I think the rockery is a 'work in progress' 😀

I hate big logos on wheels.

This full sus 29er thing is catching on... we have been enjoying this spearfish from salsa before it goes off to the press. Its not the kind of bike I usually go for. But mix the big wheels with the bouncy bits.... and its *ucking hell fast.

and yeah the heaths have been burning again.... revealling some long lost singletrack... every cloud...

Non gopping Kona alert!!

Nice looker!

looks ok, but why all the curly tubes on bikes nowadays.
i dont like curly tubes on bikes.

why curly... take a look at the age of the up and coming bike designers, wind the clock back to their youth, and see what the best selling crisps were.
You can see from the bikes above that quavers were a best seller 15 years ago.
In the 1990's the designed had grown up on chip sticks.
I am looking forward to the monster munch period of bike design.

😆

I'm liking the look of the spearfish

nice theory on modern bike design charlie:-)

Theory...? I wouldn't just make something like that up.

I tell you, it's going to a bit shitty when wheel designers get to their pringle phase.

i'm not suggesting you made it up. more like thats a summary of an exhaustive study that you carried out at the university of swanage;-)

They both look lovely!

that's the first Kona mtb in at least 10 years that I've liked the look of.
