Good Points

This bike is bullet proof, everything about it is super tough and made to last. All the pivot bearings are std off the shelf sealed bearings, you can get them for the price of a Mars Bar if you know where to go.
Frame has a low center of gravity, comfortable seat and cockpit. I was hitting the biggest stuff I have ever ridden on my first outing, really confidence inspiring.

Bad Points

Could of done with bigger chain rings up front, unless you want to look like Billy Wizz, 36t just doesnt cut it when you want to get a lick on.
Forks have no external adjustment

General Comments

My Kona Stinky Dee-lux is a cool bike! Buy this if you want to push yourself to the limit and beyond, it won't let you down. A bit overkill for most UK trails but comes into its own when the going gets rough. Riding uphill your gonna need a decent set of legs and lungs and be ready to sweat. That said the propedal shock can be wound up to give an almost rigid feel to the back end.
Summary, this bike is fun, fast, indestructible, low maintenance and long lasting. You will go higher / faster on this bike, providing you can hold on.
