The fork is great, also with the hydraulic brakes. This frame is super light, and looks awesome..and really stands out with it’s plastic formed front end that almost looks like a carbon frame.

The paint is Matte black with light grey on top and bottom tubes that does not show in pictures with a florescent green striping. It is simple, and yet very stealthy/racey looking.

The component set is a great value for the money. I’ve been through the city and the trails with this bike and it’s great for wither setting. I bought some Kona Wah Wah pedals, which are some of the lightest and strongest pedals around for the money, sealed bearings always helps to. To my negative surprise this bike is not even in the same league with that one. All parts, except of frame and fork, were better and of greater quality on older Kona. Older Conder Cone was a very smooth and enjoyable ride.
