They're both good bikes however, i'm not a great fan of Konas so i would buy the spesh. The kona frame design means they suffer from too much bob in my opinion, the spesh i rode didnt have anythin really negative to report of. At the end of the day though you should test ride them both and decide for yourself, after all it's you who's gonna be spending that amount of money not any of us on here. Enjoy your new ride whichever one you choose.
