Kona SUPREME OPERATOR (2011)

It's our out-of-the-box, World-Cup-ready race bike currently tearing up the DH circuit, thanks to The Kona Team's Mitch Delfs and Connor Fearon. Using a refined Kona Walking Beam 4-Bar Linkage with oversized axle pivots, low standover and a modern, balanced riding position, we've taken everything we've learned from our World-Championship-winning Stab and created a bike that speeds into a new era of downhill riding. The Supreme Operator is extremely easy to maintain, with incredibly supple rear suspension and ride characteristics engineered to last. Have we mentioned that Dirt Magazine called it "bang on"? To make it even better we shortened the rear chainstays by 12mm.
