Front: Maxxis DHF DH 3C 26x2.5", Rear: Maxxis DHF DH 3C 26x2.5"

The Operator is all about offering a top-of-the-line Kona Carbon frame with value-oriented spec. It was voted to Dirt’s Top 100, where they wrote, “It rides as good as it looks.” Ridden with style and brevity at the 2013 Red Bull Rampage, double backflipped by Antoine Bizet at Nine Knights and ridden to a 10th place finish at the 2013 World Cup Finals by Connor Fearon, the Operator is one superbly capable machine. Kona Carbon DH unidirectional monocoque front triangle and a durable 6061 rear triangle, the 2015 model returns with its perfectly tuned, progressive and playful 200mm of Walker Independent Suspension. The most affordably radical ride we’ve ever made.
“The perfect combination of race and fun.”
–Mountain Bike Rider (Germany)

Kona OPERATOR

The Kona Operator is a downhill bike that combines confidence-inspiring performance with a robust build, designed for gravity-focused riding. Its updated suspension platform offers better bottom-out resistance and improved pedaling characteristics, while the geometry has been modernized for steeper and gnarlier tracks. Despite its noticeable weight and some component compromises, the Operator excels in high-speed scenarios and bike park environments.
