Kona Cinder Kone 1998

The geometry remained the same from 1994 to 2008. 'Suspension-corrected' is a bit of a misnomer and I think it is better to say the frames were designed for 50mm travel and 120-130mm stems. From then on, forks got longer, compensated by stems getting shorter. By 1998, the forks had up to 70mm travel (63 in this case) and stems were down to 100-110mm. Later they went to 80mm forks with c10cm stems, and ultimately to 100mm forks with c8cm stems. All with the frame shape/geometry the same as in 1994.
