Konas are great cheap realiable DH bikes. Flame on!
Before a dumbass post pops up, I'd like to remind everybody that TONS of bikes break, not just Konas.
Tons of Bikes may break, but my friends brand new Kona Bass is the only bike I've ever seen where the chainstay snapped right in half.

That may be the chainstays fault, but Kona is the one using the Chainstay.

Not to be a dick, but,
1. If you "heard" its not gonna be good, odds are you arent even good enough to tell if you need a better bike.
2. As with anything, you get to choose two: cheap, reliable, high performance.
edit: thanks clandude
nope, you never get cheap high performance
