A bike between a kona coiler and a kona stinky?

so a little easier to pedal than the stinky but more fr/dh then the coiler? it doesnt have to be a kona bike but i do want full suspension

Hey Freeride,

You probably would be happy with a Santa Cruz "Nomad". I have a few friends who ride the Nomad and they ride up trails and single tracks like a XC bike, but descend like a Freeride bike. I rode the Nomad and it weights in at over 30 lbs. with a Totem Air 2. Pretty slick ride for what you are looking for. Check it out, I think you might like the Santa Cruz "Nomad".

I highly recommend this bike with a FOX DHX5 Coil or a DHX Air. It also is available with a 1.5 or 1 1/8 headtube. Good Luck!

a little advice:

-don't get a full suspension

get a hardtail !!!

I would advise you to get the Kona stuff, it is an amazingly good bike, with decent forks!

Go with the coiler, it will be easier to pedel and lighter.
I don't know what you will use the bike for, but most of the time, all that suspension is overkill. =)
