FIFY.They were all eaten by the long travel Down Cunty bikes.
Norco,gt, Scott commencal, only new ones I've seen in long, long time. Do they even make a glory anymore?been out of the game for a few years, started having a look online this weekend for listings of full setups new and used. Nothing around.
Does any retailer in Australia stock kona operator at the moment?

No denying they look Cool AF... But completely unpractical for alot of people.DH bikes look way cooler imo.
They’re a one trick pony, given the improved suspension and geometry of modern 160-180mm Enduro/AM bikes these days. I sold my Devinci DH bike 18 months ago because for Aussie tracks (and my riding ability), there’s nothing I can’t do as well on a burly build 160mm. I just swap wheelset if I know it’s a particularly brutal rocky track.No denying they look Cool AF... But completely unpractical for alot of people.
Yeah….but depends on the DH bike and the enduro bike. If it’s an older DH v modern enduro,nothing beats going Mach chicken on the dh bike though, ride an enduro bike at a shuttle spot then jump on a dh bike and the difference is huge.
But he did say new or used. Only asked about a retailer in relation to Kona.Absolutely, but seeing as jambo asked for a retailer I don’t think he’s looking for a 6 y/o trail bike or an 18y/o dh bike.
if you jump on a new dh bike it will make ur enr feel like your 222.
What an idiot I was buying one for Felix’s mate for $300 pre-Covid. That’s gotta be 6x better?
I love the look of some of the strange suspension linkages of DH and freeride bikes of that era, the glory on the other hand just looks shit. "Let's keep the tubes straight, we'll just punch a hole into the downtube and have the lower shock mount hang down level with the bb".
On decent tracks the DH bike is more composed, so you can push further. Plus it’s easier on the ankles and Rotator. But when you do go over the edge it’s definitely a bigger wreck. HahaThey died with lack of shuttle access.
It’s easier to don the pit vipers and bum bag then go for a 2 hour ride, than it is to organise shuttles with a dual cab. all u old cunts started going to Sunday markets and having kids instead smashing runs and sinking tins with the lads yewwwww
