Overview
About this bike
From Whistler to Les Gets and every bike park in between. Kona's Operator DH rules them all, imagine what it does on your local test piece. It's light, strong, stiff, fast and seriously durable thanks to massive pivots, and operates with 200mm of travel with a 4-bar suspension and Fox's Van RC shock. That rear end is active on small bumps to huge hits and gives you a plush, responsive ride everywhere. The front end is plenty plush, too. A BoXXer Race charges through burly sections, pops off the lip and smooths out the tranny as the background blurs past your goggles. And, the 4-piston Avid Code discs tame the nastiest terrain, at the most insane speeds. Other serious components include a tight SRAM drivetrain, a tough Kona stem and bar, and Sun rims wrapped with fat Maxxis tires.
