Not sure if this has been posted, what do you guys think of the Kona Entourage as a enduro/AM bike?

That looks more like a park/DH bike. I think a Kona Process would make a better enduro/AM bike.

Yeah, I think the uphill sections would get pretty tiresome on that.

Dan Atherton and his new Force:

 

 

ACTUALLY NOT ...... if you watch Steve Jones interview with Dan on Dirt - Dans bike is totally different to the current production model and they say that the bike will not be made for mass production at the time being.

Wow sorry... I will from now on post all my sources, in case people think I make up stories.

 

I read this article named:

Dan Atherton’s 2014 GT Force

 

 

and thought I would share the photo of the nice bike.

The Spearfish does not belong here, it should go in the Bikes for XCO/XCM thread...

"Aside from the bump up in travel, the Force receives a burlier frame design and further slackened geometry for better high speed stability and confidence on bigger trails. It’s not quite a full-blown Gravity Enduro bike, and the prototype frame that Dan Atherton is currently racing on the Enduro World Series does appear to be a different design. Time will tell if GT has a redesigned Sanction in the works that will likely target the 160-170mm Gravity Enduro market."

http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg Dan Atherton, the spear point of GT's Enduro team, swore off 650B wheels at first, but after helping to dial in the geometry and ride of the new 150-millimeter-travel Force, he changed his mind. Atherton says, however, that he will continue to develop the 26-inch wheel prototype enduro GT he uses on the racing circuit.

I don't know..... too much speculation, I think we'll know by this weekends prologue exactly what is happening... if he rides the new bike then boom, and if he rides the prototype then boom = sanction

@ Nige, I'm glad you're switching over to Evil... I too would way rather be associated with Stevie Smith's old team than George Athertons current one

They look very nice, here is a link to the article about the latest models:

I would definitely consider a Spearfish for a XCO/XCM bike.
