It was voted to Dirt’s Top 100 where they wrote “It rides as good as it looks.” Ridden with style and brevity at the 2013 Red Bull Rampage double backflipped by Antoine Bizet at Nine Knights and ridden to a 10th place finish at the 2013 World Cup Finals by Connor Fearon the Kona Carbon Operator is perhaps the most capable DH bike on planet Earth.
Which is no surprise because we designed it that way. Featuring a Kona Carbon DH unidirectional monocoque front triangle and a durable 6061 rear triangle the 2015 model returns with its perfectly tuned progressive and playful 200mm of Walker Independent Suspension. Yes it’s the most radical ride we’ve ever made.
