This thing rails! Incredibly agile for a 29er. Great trail geometry, and with pretty short chain stays, I've been really impressed with how this bad-boy handles the tight stuff. This FOX 34 is a beast too! This thing is a climber, but absolutely shines on the down hill, where it just tears it up! I was surprised to see Kona getting rid of this bike for 2015, but that process 111 looks ridiculous... So they aren't leaving us 29er trail/AM guys without something bad-to-the-bone in the lineup.
Pros Built tough with a bunch of upgrades compared to '13 spec.
Big improvement in the fork - 2014 FOX 34 ctd
