We put the big-wheeled version of Kona's latest Operator DH bike to the test.
Very solid, battle-ready feel
Can pull double duty as a race and park bike
Limited size range
On the heavier side for a carbon frame

However, if you’re after a bike that will handle endless bike park runs or gravity trips in the big mountains while giving you the confidence to send it over those big doubles and not worry about coming up a bit short, then the Operator DL certainly won’t let you down.
