Hi Guys
Did the G4 bikes come with front and rear suspension or just the front suspension ? and were there any differences from other bikes apart from the obvious :)

The event bikes
2003 - Kona - Front suspension only. Caliper brakes F+R. Competitors spent more time fixing them than riding them. Bit like LandRovers.
2006 - Front suspension only, SRAM, toga, Avid, Truvativ Components Pike forks by Rockshox, sram disc brakes F+R,
2009 - Only ones I have come across we're by LandRover bikes in silver.
Land Rover Bikes
There have been several versions of G4 bikes for sale by Land Rover bikes. These have been available as front only or full suspension bikes. Initially they were full suspension then a hardtail was brought out as 2006 challenge replica. They could be bought through most good cycle shops. Some had Land Rover on the frame lower headstock brace others had G4 Challenge. Available as junior and adult. They had SRSuntour, shimano, KS components and were branded Land Rover.

Mine must be a proper one then as it was mullered when I got it......
Though it is a full suspension version.....

The event bikes did very little really and would not have been trashed. The ones that were sold off by LR after the events had finished were mainly in good condition. Scuffs, punctures and broken chains mainly.
Yours is full suspension so not an event bike.
