I don't have all the info you're looking for. I'd suggest checking in with Kona directly as I don't have this bike any longer to grab those measurements. As far as the insertion limits or interference issues, I don't recall any in my riding time, but I never slam it all the way down--only 2-3 inches for the descents.

What size seatpost does it take?, seat clamp size? Can you fully insert the seat tube into the frame for the downhill riding? I know years ago I had a stinky that was very limited because the rocker bolt went through the frame and blocked the seatube. Not sure if Kona worked that issue out in the last couple years.

I need to swing a leg over it for one last heart-pounding climb now that I've got my legs and lungs in shape, but it's not going to win any XC races. Where the Dawg shines is on the downhill... it screams. that Dakar is a little more XC than the Dawg, but it looks to be a similar type of ride. The Dawg is intended to be an everyday trailbike for any type of trail you choose to ride, if that means "heavy duty XC" to you, then yes. :-) Right at 28 lbs… yes it climbs reasonably efficiently, but it’s no XC rig.

How much did it weigh. How would it work as a heavy duty XC bike compared to something like the Dakar XCT 3? http://jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/fullsuspension/dakarxct/09_dakarxct3.html How did it climb?
