Either this years one or below 2015 one…any thoughts? I grew up riding Mountain Bikes, rode Freeride bikes for 6 odd years and stopped riding Mountain Bikes 5 years ago due to my move to Australia. But now I’m craving and I want something simple that lets me go big.

They look fun! Haven’t heard of any issues except that they’re pretty darn heavy, but you’re getting a complete AM 29er bike for the price of the Niner all mountain hardtail frame…Seems pretty decent.

Ive only heard unreal things about em! My mate rode one SS at Trans-Sylvania Epic this year… They can climb well despite the weight

Does anyone happen to know when the 2015 models will be out in Australia?

Nope - you better contact a Kona stockist ASAP tho’ cos I can’t imagine they’ll be bringing many into AU, if any at all… So if you want one you better get on it.
I agree they look very rad.

They come in next week and I’m in contact with several dealers. If all goes well I will have one. Not many of them will come to Australia and fingers crossed I will be one of the lucky owners.

Man, rotten luck on the Honzo disappearing and now the Charge Plug being stolen as well.

Life sucks sometimes but I try not to let it on me. I got a new bike that now lives right beside me and I couldnt be happier riding it. I do think that at least one of them comes back. Both bikes were so unique that selling them will be a challenge.
