What bike?

[justmate33]

Hello,
Does anyone knows the difference between the Kona KAHUNA(2003) and the Kona KIKAPU(2004). And I was wondering if the disc brakes where any better than the v-brakes(for the price)? I was also wondering what shock was the best for the front shock and the rear shock. And what does the "wheel travel" means?

Thanks a lot!
