Overview
About this bike
Kona's Operator ushers in a new era of downhilling. Kona's dialed suspension soaks up the biggest hits with snappy pedaling for the ideal combo of speed and plushness. It's tight and maneuverable while being stable at speed on the ground and in the air. Helping those traits, the RockShox BoXXer and Fox shock both sport 200mm of travel, plus external rebound and compression adjustments to be dialed to your specifications and course needs. And, it's built with a great components package, too. Avid's powerful Code discs give you smooth stopping power, while the Sun wheels with Maxxis tires bite into the terrain to give you predictable handling. Other choice goodies include a precision SRAM drivetrain, a Kona DH bar, stem and post, and a reliable e.13 chain guide. It doesn't get much better... or faster.
