Video: 2012 Kona Supreme Operator Saint DH Bike in Action

The 2012 Kona Supreme Operator DH bike was spotted and weighed at Crankworx this summer, and Kona’s been pounding it on the world cup circuit all year. Here’s the video to prove it, along with some glamour and action shots of the bike after the break…

Nice video, cool bike, I guess… If you don’t actually have to pedal. Ever.
I think I counted 5 pedal strokes total.

I thought a Giant Glory ruled them all this year.

@Guy

The Trek Session 88 ruled them all. Repeatedly. Under the first American to ever win an overall world cup tittle. America, F* Yeah!
