The only thing magical about the 2008 Kona Coilair with Magic Link this year has been their elusiveness. I have yet to see one in person and my attempts at getting on a demo bike have been cut off at the pass. So, I’m left to wait until Interbike Outdoor Demo this Fall until I can swing a leg over the Coilair.
For 2009, the Coilair goes through the refinement machine as some new features and tweaks are introduced. For starters, the entire front triangle is new with a tapered head tube (1 1/8″ upper and 1 1/2″ lower cup), beefed-up downtube, new, beefier rocker-arms and refined Magic Link. The new paintjobs are also stunning. Here are the details of these new Enduro/Freeride bikes from Kona.

The first flakes are falling in the Wasatch. Finally. From new
You can see a magic link bike in person at go-ride - they’ve had one in there since March.
Yeah… you’re right. I have seen one there in passing, but I haven’t taken the time to take it for a test ride. They don’t have any in their demo fleet though. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll just wait until the Outdoor Demo.
I have one if you want to come ride it. 19″ Supreme, I love it the funnest bike I have owned. I am down in Orem if you’re interested.
Taylor… I may take you up on your offer. But, I’ll likely get on a 2009 in a month, so no worries. I’ll ping you if I want to take you up.
