It's a pretty standard form of suspension and Kona has stuck with the 4 bar rocker (I think that's what it's called) suspension forever.  As long as you like the bike, that's what matters.

Why'd you even bother posting that?

If your just going to act like your better than the kid just because he paid retail just don't bother posting. It's not helpful.

remember kids, this guy (k-rob) claimed his  COMPLETE road bike only weighs 3 pounds. He obviously knows what he is talking about.

nah it's just that i'd never heard of stinky's costing that much before, i was hoping to hear whether it was a garbanzo or something.

Stinkies are the best bike Ive ever rode. I paid mine (04) second hand for 600$ 3 years ago. Good buy man

You probably shouldn't make assumptions without doing the quick research.

Enjoy the rig! I've been meaning to try out DH but have stuck with XC/AM riding.
