STAB SUPREME - Kona

The Kona Stab Supreme is a legendary, full-suspension downhill mountain bike originally designed by Kona Bikes for aggressive, high-speed courses. Known for its heavy-duty aluminum frame and plush suspension, it was piloted to major victories by professional riders like Tracy Moseley and World Champion Fabien Barel.

As a dedicated downhill (DH) platform, the Stab Supreme was built to sustain repetitive, high-impact drops and rocks on massive mountain courses. The bike utilizes a rugged aluminum frame and famously incorporates top-tier, gravity-specific components.

Over its production lifecycle, notable build specs included the Kona Clump DH 7005 Aluminum frame, heavy-hitting front forks (like the Marzocchi 888) and rear shocks like the Fox DHX RC4, providing a full 203mm of travel as well as Shimano Saint hydraulic disc brakes and a 9-speed Shimano drive.

While celebrated for its bombproof durability, stealth-like silence, and unmatched stability at high speeds, reviewers often noted the bike could feel heavy. It became a cult classic in the free ride and DH communities, serving as an evolutionary stepping stone for modern mountain bike geometry and suspension.
