Unno Dash….why!!!

One is a nice-enough looking but very generic MTB, could be any brand. The other is a brand making a statement and doing something genuinely different. If they don't need to sell that many then it's better to be different and polarise opinion than be generic. I like it tbh..

Generic! Thats harsh, I prefer 'classic'. Its a stunning example of a classic design that I would definitely buy if I was a millionaire. The new one on the other hand is hideous; on account of trying to be different for the sake of it. Looks like a Picasso gone wrong.

Obviously not a veteran of the 'Standover Height Wars' from 1996 - 1999.

This is just a very late entry.

That's true
On Wednesdays when I like to wear a skirt this would be ideal!

Nice to see a bike based on what we used to call a ‘ladyback’. Certainly not enough serious MTBs with that look 😁

That Kona is kinda reminiscent of the old Scott Octane DH bike with the saddle so huge it was bolted on twice.

Is that Kona Stab the one Fabien Barel chopped the headube off and welded it back on* in the name of LLS before it was a thing?

*possibly voiding his warranty

Classic, maybe - quite conventional layout and very well styled.

Thankfully I'd forgotten those Konas. Oof :/

I'm genuinely not sure which one of those Unnos is supposed to be the ugly one.

But I also think the ML7 and Stab on this page still look good, so what the hell do I know...

I admire what he is trying to achieve, and would love a go, but from a distance & in the dark.
