Which of the two bikes would you guys get? The Kona is like 300 bucks cheaper, the fathom seller wont come below 1,000$. Something just feels off about the Kona, i think Im just not a fan of the matte red finish, coz it makes it look like an older model…
I ride downhill, but don't live near a proper ski lift park so not that aggressive downhill, most trails here also have lots of climbs, so I need something thats not weighing me down or too heavy for me to pedal up technical climbs.
Parts for both bikes seem to be stock as far as I can tell…
Also how ez is it to wrap a bike in a different color? I was thinking like a metallic dark green or silver from rvinyl.

Honzo
Check your local bike shops I picked up a fathom 1 2022 this year for $1099
Unless you know exactly which version of the CREST fork the Giant has, the Honzo is the easy choice. Giant had a recall on the earlier version, and finding service parts (and procedures) for Rockshox forks is much easier.

Big Honzo DL is a hell of a great bike.
Someone is going to get a great deal on one of the most fun hardtails out there.
