kona cowan ds set up

[dirtyx]

Hello
I like to buy myself a kona cowan ds for some slopestyle comps in Europe, and need some help with the set up for this bike (specially the fork)
My course style: dirts and big air drops.

It would be nice to have some travel on some of the 21ft drops and not to much for the dirts/tricks, so I was thinking of a 66rc2x 150 mm, or is it overkill for this frame?

Need some good setup advise! , thanks

well i would say its a bit too much (66rc2x 150 mm).
but what do you think about the rock shox pike u turn?

thanks for you reply I bins d i bins!
I considered the pike u turn also but me and rockshock won't go together (broke one a few years ago)

What bomber model is paul bas using in his cowan?

looks to me like a dj 2006 with some other decals.
a 66 with 150mm of travel would be a good compromise for dirt jump and big drops, but i guess this is too much for the frame. i wouldnt ride the frame with anything over 130mm.

i wouldnt ride the frame with anything over 130mm.

so would i.

i also think that Paul Bas. is riding a Dirt Jumper from 06 and i think that would be a good decission.
but more than 150mm is definitely too much.
