Kona Entourage Deluxe Review –

Great bike for gravity based riding – ideal for bike parks and Uk downhill. 170mm of travel front and back with rear bolt through and balanced suspension platform. Fantastic finishing kit including Fox rear shock, RS Lyric Forks, Shimano Zee brakes and Zee / Deore Groupset. Part of the Dirt 100 – this bike has pedigree! Ready to ride straight out of the box (with the addition of some good pedals) – the components are that good! A real fun fun fun bike – loves jumps and drops, loves hitting up the bike park and smashes your local dh trails too. Not exaclty ‘all mountain’ but Kona provide a good platform for pedalling so the Kona Entourage wont mind some longer trails with some climbing too.

Now only £1999 reduced from £3299 at CRC 

Introduced in 2012, this Entourage DL comes with a host of refinements, making it the most fun short-travel DH bike currently on the market. The 170mm travel Entourage DL is the Operator on a diet. Designed to be quicker, faster and more manoeuvrable than a standard 200mm DH rig, this bike is all about ramping the rad quotient to the next level. It’s the bike freeride superstar Graham Agassiz used to huck massive backflips, style downside tailwhips and spin lofty 360s in Anthill Films’ Strength in Numbers. With super-short 415mm chainstays and geometry specifically designed to broaden your gravity horizons, this year’s Entourage DL sees new improvements from an anodised finish and Shimano’s new Zee Group. Go Crush Every Line.

“If you are a rider who visits bike parks, rides many different downhill trails and loves the jumps, then this bike is aimed at you. This is an absolutely fantastic bike.” – Dirt Magazine, UK

Technologies:

  • Tubeless Compatible Rims:A number of Kona models feature the benefits of tubeless compatible rims. Tubeless rims allow for tyres with more puncture resistance, better tyre grip on the trail, lower rolling resistance and weight savings over traditional tube + tyre systems. For 2013, you’ll find tubeless compatible rims on most of our XC race and trail bikes, as well as our carbon fiber Major Jake, Red Zone and Zone Two.
  • 12x142mm rear axle: A 12x142mm rear axle provides two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. The definition of all-mountain: DH stiffness with the speed and ease of XC
