In the hopper for review is the 2009 Kona Dawg Supreme trailbike. With 6-inches of rear travel provided by Kona’s well-proven 4-bar linkage design, the Dawg is a lightweight trailbike for the masses. Built Kona tough but not portly, the Scandium frame keeps things real by picking and choosing the weight loss strategy.
Built with a solid, trail-worthy parts spec, there’s no question that the Dawg Supreme will be able to throw down on the Wasatch Crest Trail with the best of them. And, since it’s a Kona, it’s got no-nonsense, solid performance built-in. Every Kona I’ve ridden has just plain worked and worked well.
Dawg Supreme Highlights:
- Race light scandium butted frame
- Magnesium rockers
- 6-inches of rear travel
- Mixture of Shimano XTR, XT and LX components
- Mavic Crossmax ST wheelset
- Fox RP23 rear and Fox Float RLC with 15QR
- MSRP: $4599
I’m looking forward to putting the Dawg through its paces over the coming months. After my first ride of the year in Utah’s Lambert Park, I’m definitely stoked on the Dawg. I’m thinking we’re gonna become good friends.

Just got back from Ride #2 on the Dawg. I’m really liking how this bike handles the downhill. In typical Kona fashion, this bike feels ultra-plush on the down and carves up singletrack like butta’. But, the front end could use an adjustable-travel fork to minimize wander and wheelies when things get steep and loose. More updates to come.

@gustavo — gracias por tu comentario. en donde estas? tengo un amigo en PR que siempre andava en una Santa Cruz pero creo que una bici como la Kona le vaya a servir mejor.
