Summary

The Kona Entourage is a downhill bike praised for its maneuverability and suspension performance, designed with short chainstays and a compact size for enhanced handling. It features a classic suspension design with Fox’s RC2 rear shock and is built for getting airborne, making it ideal for slopestyle, mini DH, and bike park action. The bike's geometry and plush 170mm travel are highlighted as key strengths, though some note a slightly early suspension ramp-up on big compressions.

Pros
  • Short chainstays and compact size enhance maneuverability

  • Classic suspension design controlled by Fox’s RC2 rear shock

  • 170mm of super plush travel

  • Built for getting airborne and slopestyle action

  • Quick, intuitive, and totally committed to going down geometry

Cons
  • Suspension ramps up slightly earlier than on most downhill bikes, giving a harsh feel on big, square edged compressions
