UK specific Kona...



I quote (from BIKEMAGIC)...

The all-new Five O (top) is a UK-specific "hardtail trail" bike, featuring a new aluminium frame teamed with Marzocchi's 55R 140mm travel fork. The rest of the spec leans towards the burly - FSA Gravity Moto-X cranks, Hayes Stroker Trail brakes and Sun Ditch EQ rims shod with 2.35in Maxxis Minion tyres.

Looks quite interesting to me - quite possibly a good move, since fat full sussers seem to be taking over these days, and tbh are overkill for much of the UK.
Burly hardtails are where its at kids!

Worth taking a shoofty at the translation tho, as the new Coiler geometry adjustment seems really interesting - I can't wait to read a proper English written review!

More pics over here (words only in german tho) - READ THE TRANSLATION.
