Carbon Kona

I wonder how long that will stay up?
Anyway, looks great! HA the same, bb a bit lower, not exactly as earth shattering as the article led me to imagine. I wonder what I always wonder in this situation: will the aluminum version change accordingly, ala transition covert?
Although I love seeing these new carbon versions, price will prohibit me from a carbon frame for some time, I do believe

Hmmm, look at Norcos link and shorter seat stays much before making.
Looks pretty straight forward.
Is the main pivot lower again? Micro pro squat when pedaling?
Still Faux bar right? No Split Pivot? Looks the same as it was but I can't see the pic well.
Good on Kona for sticking to their guns.

Looks flexy
Nah, looks great, yes.
But the main pivot is really low. Short chainstays and low BB look fine though. Well, it's a Kona...

They are really missing an opportunity if they don't call it the Carbona.
The Kona Carbona 
Awesome!
Awesome!
Looks like it's crashed already.
Super clean bike. I really like it. Has the clean lines of the session. I kind of wish the pivot was up higher, but I keep beating that same old drum. The pivots look nice and fat, it should be a stout frame.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this the internet? I'm pretty sure the internet is where you say "omfg kona suckxzors and they never innovate, their bikes always have sucked and always will!"
Silly bastard.
Looks nice. Love the alum version the Carbon looks even better.
Faux fo sho.
My first DH bike was a Stab Primo so I will always have a soft spot for Kona. I think looks like their best DH offering in a long time. I would love a bike like that with a single crown and 180mm front and rear setup.
Carboner...
Same thing in certain parts of the country.
Kona Carboner or Kona Carbona would be awesome names.
Or Carborator...
haha. i guess i was enunciating it wrong...Same thing in certain parts of the country.
Nice, i was wondering when this would pop up. It's not a Specialized, so i don't expect it to get disappeared any time soon.
I know exactly how you feel!
Glad to see Kona still in the game.
I like the looks... but why do companies always try to create extra sight lines on frames with extra fluff and color? (Bottom of the TT, Rocker Link, Seatstay in the photo) Transition did it with the Bandit release, etc.
I liked the simple, understated graphics on the Operator/Entourage frames.
Or, even better, the "throwback" graphics of the old school Konas used on the new HT frames such as the Taro.
Personal pref. I guess......
