I would have to easily say Norco, as most of the konas have shortish wheelbases compared to the norcos.
Wasn't there already a thread with a poll attached about a norco Atomik versus a Kona Stinky?
Funny i must just be seeing things then.

Norco by far, i would rather ride a Norco but thats because i prefere the feel. Some bikes ant just made for everyone:p

It should read 4-bar linkage or FSR? The main difference is primarily the rear suspension platform. If you like FSR, you will like Norco, if you like 4-bar, you will like Kona. Components are components. The only real difference between the two bikes is the rear suspension design.
Having said that, I prefer FSR (having ridden both).

Norco or Kona.....That's like chosing between a Brick or a Boulder.
I'd personally rather a Huffy....but that's just me.:rolleyes:
If i HAD to chose one, It would be Norco without a DOUBT, I'd much prefer the Suspension platform on the Norco over the Dead feeling 4-bar.
But, Norco's have the worste geo I have possibly ever seen....It's shocking how they can call it a DH bike. :|....
I would never get both of these, Just a life or Death situation. :P

Why does it matter to you Konaboy if norco or kona is better. Obviously you like Kona better according to your name, but for the record, Norco is better. Now close this thread some one

I have to agree with Ruckus_Lord on that one! Huffy totally owns the competition with their DH dualies! But if it was between Norco or Kona, I would deffinetely choose Norco. Kona just make weird bikes and some of the colour schemes on their bikes just look wacked out.
