Ok so its about time for me to get a new bike.
Ive been considering those options, and ill mainly be using it at cop and some other trail stuff. i got a chance to sorta demo a shore in a parking lot, but nothing else, so if anybody has tried the other ones out and could help out that would be awsome.
please no posts like "konas suck" atleast tell me why

Shore all the way!
It's one of the best all around freeride bikes I have ever riden!
I love mine, it jumps well eats up rocks and is easy to get it to move around.
The Coiler is a good bike too, it like a stinky with less travel, so with that said, the stinky is a sweet ride too, Kona has been making them forever now, so there must be a reason why people keep buying them.
And the perp looks sweet, I don't know much about them.
I love the new shore's (and the six), the coilair is interesting with its new suspension technology, although, id wait to let someone else prove it works
thanks for the replies
yea, the shore does look pretty sweet. i like the magic link system on the kona, but theres nobody out there thats ridden one, so id rather not be the first.
im still thinking its between the shore and the coilair, cant get the cannondale anymore, adn the stinky isnt suited to what i need.
Personally I'd go with the shore 3. I'm not against konas or anything, I' mean there a great starter bike for anyone looking to get into freeriding, but teh shore is a good quality bike thats a BIG step up from any kona coiler or stinky.
ive been thinking about the giant reign x2, also seems pretty good. i know its gonna be a better option for my trail riding, but do you think it can hadle some dh and freeriding aswell?
I got this year's Coilair and I love it. The magic link is dope and totally adjustable to fit your riding style. It climbs like a beast and descends with 7.5 inches of travel. Did I mention it corners well too? I can do anything with this bike, whether an epic CC ride or a DH race. Coilair all the way.
I haven't found anything it can't descend yet, and I've raced it in 3 DH races.
