2008 Kona Range Released

Kona has always specced triple rings for some markets and double for others. Most Stinky owners end up going single anyway...

Although i notice te Stinky specs all mention a bash ring, so perhaps the pic i posted earlier was a one off? Stinky air will be about the same $$$ as the 07 Stinky Primo, but by the look of the specs will be alot lighter

And yes, no Coilers anymore, just Coilairs, however the Coilairs are much cheaper than previous Coilair models.

Stinky air looks interesting...must start saving

Golden_Boy · *by **Golden_Boy** on Sat 7/Jul/07 9:14am*

Very approximate pricings for the 08's -
These could change drastically depending on the exchange rate etc. If the dollar stays high i would anticipate prices will be cheaper...
Stinky - $3199
Stinky Deluxe - $5199
Stinky Air - $6999
