Kona's Magic Link 2009

[NzBoiii]

now we have 5th element so no need for that shit

[MTBRIDA615]

do you know if kona uses quality components?

[apachemauro]

is the weakest bike ever, pice of junk! KONA is the worst brand, always broke!

[Taud]

@apachemauro my 2008 kona stuff is pretty good still

[resqme1000]

ITs not the most revolutionary suspension system, the ZERODE in NZ is the best DH bike ever made. plus my mate has an 09 Kona Coilair and its rear triangle is shit house, it flexes like 2 inches.

[aphididae]

bloody hell people, just make a switch to make the rear suspension not work

[Dirtboyindahouse]

shit, would you look at the size of tht shock

[THEbenmortimer]

haha thats in todmorden this is just down the road from where i live. i pass this shop almost everyday. I never really knew what it was until i saw this video, but now i know!

[theeroom]

looks like huddersfield that area?

[AsianAnimeRuLe]

hi do you guys know if a kona four handle jumps and tough terrain. i recently got it its a kona four with a diferent fork its a rockshox recon 5inch travel Not the cheap dart 2.. juicy 7 brakes. somehting monarch rear shox in the back. and wellgo v sixty pedals.

Great Video

[spartanll2]

@AsianAnimeRuLe itll handle jumps, but not big jumps so anything with a drop of more than like 5 ft otherwise itll bottom out your suspension and that aint fun.

"feels like a stab going downhill"

translation: "feels like a shopping cart full of bricks going downhill"

[cows416]

@pixuma

a shopping cart with 26" wheels and 7" suspension would blaze the downhills!!

[LukSkyOne]

HHHEHEHEHE, best bike in the world, what a bullshit! What about VPP and others?

[ippolix]

fantastic bike

[velo50]

Kona Snap

[trawling4olives]

I have this bike and its ace. Just come back from the Alps (did part of the Megavalanche route) and it performed really well. The Magiclink (naff name...) really does work. nice climbing and it feels like the travel is endless at the back....the forks however are absolute toss! broken cartridge meant 80mm of travel...i was shaken to sh*t! Windwave are chuffing hopeless also.... The bike is great though

[eatmydirt85]

Thats not Kona's fault tho its the fork manuf.

[trawling4olives]

Yep..totally agree. I just needed to get that off my chest!

[pressrolls]

Its a total fucking "theory"....

Does nothing but add an additional wear item, will be discontinued next year.

Bike companies trying to survive - trying to reinvent the wheel.

This isnt engineering its MARKETeering.

("magic link",.....lmao)

[Jeenyus1983]

@pressrolls I thought the same as you sir. I demoed about 30,000 dollars worth of bikes and was hesitant about going dual suspension-but the magic link did indeed change my mind...Just food for thought...When you pedal uphill it really disengages the rear shock nicely!

[n0flip]

Not good!

[kuulkara]

I dont like the look of those air shocks. DHX 5.0 is the only way to go.

[newdude32]

i just got the kona coil air deluxe. its AWSOME!!! it does exactly what they say it does. its great up hills and descends like a beast

[macix12]

2 words : you suck

[flipskateboards12345]

lol

[connormagill]

i want to get a kona stinky its the 07 model with marzzochi drop of forks

[koolkat250]

good choice, mate.

[mattjwatkins]

I'm selling an 07 CoilAir Supreme (without Magic Link!) on eBay. Item number: 300304129615. End time: 05-Apr-09 19:45:14 BST (UK)

[radiostarcountry]

how do i get my shock on my 2007 kona stinky set up right.. i am 15 and weigh 7 stone small i no.. but it bottoms out very easy...

[helmetless]

I WANNA LIKE THAT BIKE!!!! WHO NOT?

[transplant07]

kona suck

[matthewsaddleworth]

i was looking at one of these but now im getting a commencal meta tommorrow

[minethegap]

You'll need some magic to keep it clean and smooth.

[FVURJ]

oooooooooo.........jea the world s best bike

but i dont have money for it but i love that bike its THE BEST

[flatline1995]

a stab dh wow these guys r jks

[liuwenjie6678]

though giant is not that famous as kona do,but most of the guys saled their kona with magic link,and kept the reign or glory in store here in japan...what can i say...yeah,i don see how it works as well...sorry!!

[liuwenjie6678]

jesus,i cant believe theres still guys like that who stick with kona...i dont understand what konas engineers thinking each day...that standard four link and single pivot system just sooooo retard,acutually kona got no idea on suspension designation,also this MAGIC LINK,lol!what is that?it has been proved that it doesnt work that fantasicly as double pivot....

[danieloo7weed]

very smart very good

[60calabre]

tradgic link!! looks horrid

[Fitzman1111]

i have tht on my mongoose

[benjiscott82]

COME ON TEH YORKSHIRE

[doncasterboy1]

im with ya lol

[denveroutlawsfan]

thats awesome i wanna get one now!

[punkdudetheoriginal]

the coilair is no longer an AM FR bike as i see..

[Thumbshifter]

Works fine for me.

[chiayd]

it's still juz a XC and a AM bike

[Thumbshifter]

7.4in travel is more than most people need.

[Straightliner27]

Why does it keep stopping at 53 seconds? Anyone else seen the rest of it?

[liveleakisalotbetter]

your not missing much, theres 2 cars and a tiny wheelie, oh abd they sugest takin it to the trails....
