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.

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.

Salsa Horsethief and Spearfish have received Dave Weagle's touch by means of Split Pivot.

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 :ph34r: :lol:
