Hi everyone-

I am relatively new to mountain biking and I am looking into Kona for my first real mountain bike (I currently have a Trek hybrid). From the research I have done and considering my price range (800-900 or less) it looks like the Cinder Cone would be a good choice. I want a bike I can grow into and one that won't need a lot of on-the-go maintenance since I don't know how to do any of that yet. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. And if it makes a difference in how the bike might fit me I'm female, average build.

Thanks!

look into Jamis, Iron Horse and possibly Rocky Mountain.

Kona does make nice bikes. I have a Cowan and my husband has a Cowan and an Explosif SS. If it feels good, then go for it!

Thanks for the input, I'll look into those as well.
