Jimbob 2705 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi Guys, I went to Switzerland on Holiday and went Mountain Biking. It was fantastic. I would like to know what model I was riding. I don't have any pictures so I will only be able to describe it : It was a Kona. It was Red + White + Black. It has contour line graphics on the frame. It had both a front and rear suspension. The front suspension had Fifty Five on it and the Rear Suspension is Fox 2 (Or something similar)? It has the magic link. It has 8 (not exactly sure) gears on the right and 2 gears on the left. It has dual disk brakes. The 15" frame model has a straight top tube on the frame but the sizes above have a curved top tube. The brakes were the opposite way around to over here in the UK. Right = Rear Brake, Left = Front Brake Any suggestions? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Some kind of stinky or coiler or stab. ? Edited August 22, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob 2705 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Some kind of stinky or coiler or stab. ? The rear suspension didn't have a spring showing. The bike looked a bit like this: http://www.sunsetmtb.co.uk/shop/index.php?product_id=1548&category_id=127 That might be the actual model but maybe a different year? I don't think it is as the front suspension is a Fox 32 Float RL 150mm when the Bike I was riding has Fifty Five written on the suspension????

Cheers This is the closest I have found so far : http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/kona-coilair-supreme-review/ But the one I was riding had a different front suspension?

Revolver Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 The rear suspension didn't have a spring showing. Aah, but the spring not showing is a feature of the suspension, not the frame, so it could be any kona frame with a fox shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob 2705 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Sounds very much like a Kona Coilair to me! Yes it is!!! Thanks a lot. It is the 2009 model. What are people's views on them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Any Kona full sus bike is a bit like a Ford Fiesta 1.1i. Alright to drive / ride, probably pretty well-put together, good value. But it's not the kind of bike I'd get excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Kona don't do anything for me at all. I don't know why, but I just don't like them one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I've just strapped some fox 36's on my Kona Coiler with hope pro 2 wheels. It does quite a lot for me - it looks amazing. Having said all that i may well change the frame next year to something a little different...orange 5 or blood perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
