I made a post a month ago I was hesitating between a 134cr and 153cr G3, went for the 134cr for a more fun and playful bike!
I am trying to dial my suspension especially rear shock I constantly use all the travel although I am not hitting big jumps like before do tokens really help with that?
And what upgrades would you suggest ? Was thinking of beast components carbon sq handlebars and raceface turbine stem!
Thanks!

May it never be this clean again. Happy riding
The only essential upgrade from these pics would be pedals. Lots of personal preference, but get something with metal pins.
EDIT: and congrats on killer bike!
Damn that’s a really nice lookin bike! Enjoy that thang
Yes, the tokens will really help out. That Kona in a great bike. A lot of OEM fox tunes are for lighter riders.
Very pretty glossy, congrats! Upgrade the pedals for sure, but way too many options out there to recommend. Pedals are a bit of personal preference these days.
Great choice!
I just added pedals and higher rise bars to mine. Enjoy the bike, it’s a sick ride.
I have a 134! Mine’s old enough to be in middle school though. 😂
That’s kind of funny about your rear suspension. I never use all my travel.
Just to be “that guy,” how much sag are you running? And, what compression damper settings are available to you? Have you sacrificed a whole ride to the suspension gods?
I would do RaceFace Next bars with a RaceFace stem, or Beast bars with a Beast stem. I like my brands to match (even though it doesn’t really matter).
As for the rear sus, have to looked at recommended settings based on your weight from Fox? Make sure sag is set correctly, then tune in compression starting from the Fox values. Adding tokens can help too.
