T
hink about the notion of physical freedom. Now think about the bicycle. For those in love with the cycling lifestyle, it’s hard to separate these two ideas; they are, in many respects, totally synonymous. With increased speed and agility, our autonomy reaches new heights. Without the aid of fossil fuels, we can move quickly now, travelling over great distances and across huge variances in geography and experience along the way. We are, in a word, independent.
We know that’s why you ride bikes. It’s why you sell bikes. And most importantly, why you sell Kona. We put our foot down in 2014, firmly asserting ourselves as the independent bicycle company we’ve always been, one committed to doing things our own way—The Kona Way. You did the same, standing by your business, your way of doing things. You stood by Kona, and together we’ve got the bicycling world talking. “This is not a story about the search for a bike that can run a short stem, it’s about a company that has gone against the grain and been bold enough to bring a bike with a low standover in all sizes, bikes that are simple to understand by way of progressive suspension, are stiff and reliable with good hardware, reasonable pricing and good component spec.” –Steve Jones, Dirt Magazine

6-7 FAQS / CONTACTS / WARRANTY KONA TECHNOLOGY 6-33 ............................................................. ............................................................. It seems staying true to our roots and doing things our own way is paying off. Bikes like the Process 111, the Rove, the Precept, the Carbon Operator and the constantly evolving Cinder Cone continue to show both our consumers and our competition that the Kona Way of doing things isn’t necessarily traditional, nor does it follow trend. It does, however, recognize the fact that a bike can always be better. For 2015, we haven’t slowed down. You’ll see unique products throughout our collection of nearly 80 bikes: new additions to the Process line, most notably, the 26-inchwheel Process 167 and the small-person-specific Process 134 SE. There’s the Esatto platform in Road Endurance, the perfectly priced Precept 200 downhill bike and the ultimate in Freerange, the Big Rove—just imagine what that bike can do. As our family continues to grow, as the bicycle industry continues to flourish in a world struggling to experience true physical freedom, we’re honored you’re on the same fiercely independent ride with us. The fact remains that the original founders are still an integral part of the company. No one owns any part of us and we don’t own any part of anything else. Just Kona. Just bikes. Nothing else. ..............................................................................................

e’ve never stepped away from the honest ride feel of cromoly steel. It’s the original bike material, and its application is just as relevant, cool, and long-lasting as it was when we made our first Kona Cromoly Cinder Cone back in 1988. Over that time we’ve made hundreds of different models of cromoly bikes, from road bikes and commuters, straight through to cyclocross, cross-country, and dirt jumpers, right up to the very modern, hardcore trail bikes like the Honzo. Depending on price point and application, we incorporate three different types of steel. .........................................................................................................................
REYNOLDS 520
From one of the world’s top cromoly manufacturers, Reynolds Cycling Technology, Reynolds 520 tubes are mandrelbutted for accurate profiles and available in a wide range of shapes. Weight savings from butting provides competitively priced, light framesets that are noticeably compliant on the road or the trail, and are guaranteed to last a lifetime. The Reynolds 520 range uses the same chemistry as their 725 range but without the heat-treatment process. 2015 REYNOLDS 520 MODELS: PADDY WAGON, UNIT, HONKY TONK, EXPLOSIF

MATERIALS: ALLOYS KONA RACE LIGHT SCANDIUM 69
Known to have one of the highest strengthto-weight ratios for any alloy in the world, Scandium has been a hallmark in our bikes since we first introduced the material in 2000. Since that time, it’s found a home in light and quick 29-inch hardtails, savvy all-mountain rides and recreationally oriented, well-priced mountain bikes. For 2015, our commitment to the material grows significantly, with new Kona Race Light Scandium 69 models showing up throughout our growing range of Road bikes, from the new Road endurance Esattos to the base model Zone, through to the Kahuna Deluxe, Kula and Cinder Cone. Introduced to our line in 2012, Race Light Scandium 69 comes with yield strengths that are about 40 percent higher than previous Scandium alloys. The result is the strongest per-weight aluminum alloy ever made. Because of its fibrous or fine-grained structure, Race Light Scandium 69 alloy reveals a unique combination of corrosion resistance and excellent fatigue strength.

WHAT IS SCANDIUM?
Scandium is the eighth most abundant rare element on earth. A silvery white metal extracted from the earth’s crust, Scandium is a potent grain refiner that, when added to aluminum alloys, elevates the strength and durability of the material by 50 percent. It does this by “straightening” out the grains of the alloy, making the metal less susceptible to failure. It’s this strength and durability that makes Scandium alloys an attractive material when it comes to manufacturing bicycles. Strength is so much higher—Scandium alloy is twice as strong as 6061 or 7005 aluminum—that we’re able to use much less material to achieve riding characteristics similar to steel. With Scandium we’re able to shave weight from our aluminum frames by 10 to 15 percent.
KONA 7005/6061 ALUMINUM BUTTED
Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminum alloys are used extensively throughout our fleet of mountain and asphalt bicycles. A tough, durable, affordable, light alloy, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of our 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, allowing us to fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application.

Kona Race Light 7005 is a lighter, more performance-oriented fabrication of our 7005 tubing. Designed to meet Kona’s discerning race specifications, Race Light 7005 uses custom butting to create thicker tubes at weld areas and important parts of the frame, providing incredible strength and torsional integrity to the feel of the ride. We remove wall thickness in other parts of the frameset to lighten up the bike, giving the perfect balance between quickness and stiffness.

omfort, stability, durability, standover, cornering performance and every nuance in between: the Kona Ride has long been a definitive element of what makes our company unique. And while we make bicycles for almost every type of rider and ride surface imaginable, at the end of the day, we design bikes that are playful and fun. Because as long-time cyclists, we know that a bike is all about you, the engine inside.
COMPACT REAR TRIANGLE
Short chainstays and seatstays provide a perfect balance of stability and power transfer when out of the saddle and pedaling hard. Shorter seatstays also have less deflection during braking and accelerate faster than longer stays. A more compact rear triangle also helps the bike to negotiate tight-twisting sections of trail. The Honzo, Operator and Process 111 are good examples of 2015 bikes with incredibly compact rear triangles: quick, aggressive in corners, easy to maneuver and laterally stiff. ...............................................................................................
HYDROFORMED TUBING
Hydroforming is a tube-shaping technology that uses high-pressure liquid to form the shape of a tube and align its grain structure. Quite simply, the technology delivers a sound structure and ride performance like no other tube-shaping process in the world and results in a seamless, continuous, aligned piece of metal, right down to the fiber structure itself. Hydroformed tubing is especially advantageous at weld points where tubes can be flared to increase weld areas, adding strength without adding weight in the form of extra gussets. The result is a strong, flawless frame with great lateral stability, durability and responsiveness. ...............................................................................................
SUPERPLASTIC FORMED TUBING
Superplastic Forming (SPF) uses high temperatures to shape aluminum tubing when the tube structure is in its most formable state. SPF creates tube shapes that cannot be produced using traditional forming techniques; 90 percent of the tube can be shaped, resulting in more optimized shapes and less weight. SPF tubes are the perfect alternative to more expensive carbon fiber and are comparable in weight and performance.
INTERNAL HEADSETS
The major benefit of an internal headset, whereby the bearing cups are actually pressed into the frame and are easily removable, is the extra layer of protection it provides the bearings against the elements. Additionally, the bearings are commonly available angular contact bearings, which are easily and inexpensively replaced. An internal headset also reduces stack height, so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable, giving the rider the best fit possible. ...............................................................................................
INTEGRATED HEADSETS
Integrated headsets are simple, light and effective headset systems whereby the bearing race cups are actually part of the head tube, be they machined away and left with the head tube, or glued in (carbon) or welded in with steel or alloy. Like an internal headset, an integrated headset also reduces stack height, so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable, giving the rider the best fit possible. Providing effective, precise steering, you’ll find integrated headsets on our collection of Road Endurance and Race bikes like the Zones and Esattos. ...............................................................................................
TAPERED HEAD TUBE
Aside from improving the aesthetic, due to its cleaner lines and smooth transition between the fork crown and the headset cover, tapered head tubes also offer a more solid interface between forks with tapered steertubes and the bicycle frame itself, thanks to more weld contact area. More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself, eliminates brake shudder, all while providing positive steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup—maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed.
44MM HEAD TUBE
44mm oversized heatubes allow us to run tapered steerer forks by using a large external lower cup headset bearing. Primarily used on our Titanium and Cromoly models, where tapering the frame material of the head tube is prohibitive, 44m head tube allows us to include of the precise steering and frame stiffness associated with a tapered steerer fork. .............................................................................................
TUBELESS COMPATIBLE RIMS
An increasing amount of 2015 Kona models feature the benefits of tubeless compatible rims. Tubeless rims allow for tires with more puncture resistance, better tire grip on the trail, lower rolling resistance and weight savings over traditional tube + tire systems. For 2015, you’ll find tubeless compatible rims on most of our XC Race Light and Enduro bikes, as well as throughout our Cyclocross and Road platforms. ............................................................................................
12X142 / 12X157 REAR AXLES
The XC/Trail/Enduro 12x142mm and the DH 12x157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142mm/157mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. The take-away? 12x142 and 12x157 standards make a bike that rides better and is easier to work on.
EVOLVED SIZING AND FIT
Fit is the prime contributor to comfort and confidence on any type of bike design. It is especially critical on MTB Trail and Enduro bikes where the uphill speed and efficiency an XC bike needs is at balance with the control of a downhill bike. Many mountain bikes currently on the market are still subject to the traditional fit and sizing mountain bikes took from road-bike sizing standards, whereby seat tube length defined the sizing, and stem lengths increased with frame size. As a result, riders have been forced to replace stock stems because they are too long for use in technical terrain. While this Band-Aid solution has improved the ride, we would argue the balance of the bike has been negatively affected. Radically shortening a stem, without regard for the geometry of the bike, will create a bike that is too small, and it shifts the weight bias rearward and creates a steep head angle, resulting in a twitchy ride. No good. In 2012, Kona took the modest step of offering a Trail hardtail with a longer reach, shorter stem and slack head angle. To balance the wheelbase growth from the longer reach we aggressively shortened the chainstays. In 2013, we built on this by offering the first Process model, featuring the same formula: long top tube, short stem and short chainstays. In 2015, we’re cranking the volume by offering a total of 11 different Process models, each with the trail-worthy balance of long reach, short stem, slack head angle and short chainstays. On our XC Race bikes, we feature longer top tubes coupled with shorter stems and slightly shorter headset stack heights. The steps between sizes are at a half-inch to oneinch increments, with up to seven sizes ranging from 14 to 22 inches on many models. Our Commuter, Road, CX, and Freerange platforms offer up to seven sizes from 46cm to 63cm. When it’s called for, seatposts are either offset or straight to maximize the reach and power output of the rider. More importantly, our comprehensive bike sizing allows Kona dealers to determine rider fit more easily from model to model and category to category.

INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
S
uspension design is an exercise in finding balance. For our designers, this means extensive study of the relationship between leverage rate curve, pivot placement, geometry, intended use and rider fit. These ride characteristics come to life through an unwavering attention to detail, not newfangled suspension gimmicks. Based on a single-pivot suspension design philosophy that centers around a linkage actuated shock, Kona Independent Suspension is a three-configuration system that wholly focused on providing great performance without over-complicated technology.
CLEAN CABLE ROUTING
Throughout Kona’s 2015 range, you’ll find many subtle changes to cable routing. Some are now internal, while others have been rerouted to improve performance and tidy aesthetics. These are small changes you may not even notice, but rest assured the changes are designed with ease-ofmaintenance in mind and are not fashion-driven. New for 2015, you’ll find dropper post routing throughout our MTB platforms, including our Race Light bikes. ............................................................................................
DROPPER POSTS
Dropper posts are a key element in riding technical singletrack. No surprise then, for 2015 we’ve spec’d dropper posts on numerous models throughout our Enduro and MTB Trail platforms, featuring the lightweight and proven seat posts from Kind Shock. New for 2015, you’ll find internal and external routing for dropper posts throughout our Race Light XC mountain bikes. ............................................................................................
27.5-INCH WHEELS
The benefits of the 27.5-inch wheel are simple: they roll over obstacles and track better than 26-inch wheels, but are more maneuverable and nimble than 29-inch ones. They are, quite literally, the best of both worlds, effectively increasing overall performance and rider confidence. No surprise then, that 27.5-inch wheels have found their way throughout our Mountain Bike range. You’ll find the wheel size throughout our Enduro platform and now throughout many of our traditional mountain bikes, like the Cinder Cone, Blast and Lana’i.

RIDE-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY & LEVERAGE RATE CURVE
The little details of frame geometry make up the perfect ride. Kona’s relentless focus on finding the best balance of these details for a given discipline gives every one of our bikes the distinct Kona Ride. Kona Independent Suspension allows us to tweak the angles and the dimensions of our bikes down to the exact millimeter. When it comes to actual suspension performance, our leverage rate curves are designed to provide the best ride for certain applications. How do we do that? By making the suspension predictable throughout the travel and easy to tune.
DURABILTY
Tested in the Pacific Northwest, our prototype frames spend their winters on the North Shore and in the muck and mud of Washington. Summer finds them in the Whistler Bike Park or all-day rides in the alpine. What have we learned from all of this? That widely spaced pivots featuring oversized bearings stop early-bearing wear from side loading and create better resistance to pressure washers.

ROCKER INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
Different riders have different needs, but Trail and Enduro riders need a lot of everything—from downhill performance to efficient climbing. With Rocker Independent Suspension we found a healthy balance between the down and the up, while also designing a suspension platform that was as compact and low-slung on the frame as possible for maximum standover, stiffness and maneuverability. A consistent leverage rate curve that perfectly matches currently available air shocks creates a stable pedaling platform, while giving the rider a predictable feel throughout the travel.

RIDE FEEL BEFORE AXLE PATH
It’s one of many factors that must be balanced to make a World Cup-level bike. If you only listen to the Internet, however, you would find it nearly impossible to make it down a rocky trail without a perfectly rearward axle path. Geometry—making the bike maneuverable, and leverage rate curve—making the bike predictable and easily tunable, are more important than selling the soul of the bike for a “perfect” axle path. (What is perfect anyway?) A bike that is maneuverable uses its travel prudently and is intuitively responsive to rider input, allowing the rider to skim over technical terrain faster than plowing through.

SWINGER INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
Featured on the recreational-oriented Precept line of Trail bikes, and the new Precept 200 DH bike, Kona’s Swinger configuration allows us to smartly increase standover and optimize the leverage rate for both Trail and Gravity riding in a way that we couldn’t have done with other configurations. It retains the same advantages and performance features as our other designs, but at a more affordable price.
2015 INDEPENDENTMODELS: MODELS: PRECEPT200, DL PRECEPT DL, PRECEPT 2015SWINGER SWINGER INDEPENDENT PRECEPT
We enjoy the new-school trails—smooth, bermed with jumps—and have learned a lot about being light of foot. We’ve taken those lessons back to our home turf and found new lines with this evolved approach to geometry and suspension design. We do not want to create bikes that ride like couches. We think that’s boring, slow and not fun. We decided to make a unique DH bike—one that you ride, not one that rides you.
MORE PROGRESSIVE LEVERAGE RATE CURVE
Compared to the original Operator, we’ve made the leverage rate curve more progressive at the beginning of the stroke. We did this for several reasons: it keeps the bike higher in the travel by making the initial travel stiffer in compression, as well as providing faster initial rebound. It also matches the initial leverage rate curve of currently available forks so front and rear suspension is more in synch. The curve is more progressive at the beginning of the stroke, and consistently so through the travel, providing the rider with a predictable and easily tuned bike. It is also easier on the rear damper as there are no sudden spikes in force on the shock caused by rapid changes in the leverage rate curve.

UD MONOCOQUE KONA CARBON DH FRONT TRIANGLE Why Carbon? Because we can make the frame stronger and lighter. We’ve taken a different approach, avoiding fashionably stylized tube shapes and focusing on round tubes, which are still the best performers in terms of overall strength, stiffness and dent resistance.
REAR-TRIANGLE STIFFNESS: Three times stiffer than the previous Operator, the 6061 Aluminum Butted rear triangle features dual pinch bolts on the rear axle to prevent it from twisting in the frame and a Carbon Bridged Rocker for the lightest, stiffest rocker possible.
12X157MM REAR O.L.D. REAR AXLE: Same advantages as 12x142mm—easy rear-wheel placement, lateral stiffness.
“As an industry we tend to pile gimmicks on to DH bikes in order to assure the customer that this is the bike that will make them faster. With the Carbon Operator we kept it as straight forward as possible: solid chassis, good geometry and dialed leverage rate curve. These are the key components of a fun bike and day after day a fun bike is a fast one.”

OVERSIZED PIVOTS & BEARINGS: Large bearings are used to reduce wear from side loading and pressure washers. We use two standard industrial-sized bearings on the frame that are inexpensive and easily sourced worldwide. The outer race bearing seat has been machined to allow for easy removal of the bearing by pushing only on the outer race without specialized bearing tools. All bearings are held in the frame, this prevents off-axis loading when pivots are torqued. Lightweight large outer dimensions thru-axles feature large 12-point hex tool interface to prevent tool interface wear. All Process and Operator bikes have laser etched assembly info on main pivots for ease of maintenance.

Different riders have different needs. Riders all over the world struggle to define what Trail, All Mountain or Enduro riding is. When it came to designing the ultimate platform of bikes for technical off-road riding, we saw the need to develop a versatile product line to fit the needs of every definition. Our prime design directive was to find the best possible balance of geometry, travel and wheel size. As a result, we came up with some very specific travel numbers that complement the design, wheel size and intended use of specific models.

GEOMETRY – CHALLENGING TRADITION
PROCESS 153
Trail and Enduro bikes currently on the market are still subject to the traditional fit and sizing mountain bikes took from road-bike sizing, where seat tube length defined the size, and stem lengths increased with the frame size. This doesn’t make sense given what today’s riders are trying to do on their Enduro bikes: pedal them like XC bikes and descend them like DH bikes. So we rethought the equation with a holistic approach: stem-length, reach, top tube length, chainstay length, front center, and wheelbase, all relevant to the fit, form and function of the modern mountain bike.

SHORT CHAINSTAYS: Improves the handling of the bike at slow speeds, cornering in all situations, jump-ability and overall bike stiffness.
STEM LENGTH: Critical to how the bike steers: short stems provide stiff and quick handling. This is especially important when the head tube angle gets slacker. Additionally, taller riders should not be penalized with slower steering and flexible 90mm stems. In our opinion, long stems have no place on serious trail bikes.
SEAT TUBE: With the adoption of dropper posts, the seat tube itself no longer needs to define the size of the bike, allowing us to lower our top tubes to the absolute minimum on all sizes. And we do mean all sizes: the XL has the same minimal standover as the small.
LONGER TOP TUBES: In high-speed situations, a perceived downside of short chainstays is that wheelbase is reduced and stability is negatively affected. We’ve countered this effect by lengthening the top tube, increasing the overall wheelbase. The result is stability at speed without compromising low-speed handling.
FRAME DETAILS – A STANDARDIZED APPROACH
With the Process platform, we made a distinct effort to have all of the bikes share many of the same frame details. This helps both the consumer and dealer on many levels, most notably ease of maintenance, standardized replacement parts, and a succinct story when it comes to selling the bicycles. For the consumer, it allows them to easily determine which model is right for them as all frame, geometry, suspension and design features represent a progression. The decision on which bike to select is then based on their own style of riding and the terrain their most often exposed to.
SLACK HEAD ANGLE: Keeps the bike stable at speed and allows the bike to roll out of steep terrain confidently. One of the downsides of slack head angles is that it makes the bike handle more slowly, more awkwardly and less responsively at reduced speeds, which is exacerbated by wide bars. Short stems counteract this effect of slack head angle allowing for quick handling of the bike at slow speeds.

Our Cyclocross bikes use the same race proven frame geometry across the line to make sizing a cinch.

PROCESS 153 DL
“Blows apart the myth that 29ers aren’t playful.”
“The most fun 27.5 bike currently available... short travel has never been so much fun.”
MBR (UK)
DIRT MAGAZINE (UK)
PROCESS 111 Last year we redefined what a 29-inch-wheel mountain bike was capable of. Combining short (430mm) chainstays and a low BB, omitting the front derailleur and incorporating big standover, a short stem and a roomy rider cockpit, we turned the idea of a 29-inch-wheel bike up on its head, laying waste the land of trail in a flood of Big Fun. Highlighted by a surprisingly deep 111mm of rear Rocker Independent Suspension—whose progressive leverage rate curve means plush on the down and smooth on the up—the exceedingly capable 10-42t X1 drivetrain and a new Pike 120mm fork, the Process 111 returns to shock and awe.

At Kona we’ve been making gravity bikes since the beginning of gravity bikes. We’ve always had a passion for making fast, competent rides, and we also create bikes that enable the rider to take it to the next level. With the launch of our carbon Operator series, we’ve hit the sweet spot. Capable of wowing the crowd at the Red Bull Rampage, to contesting the podium at World Cup DH events, to the great opportunities of gravity riding in between, the Operator returns as one of the lightest, most playful DH bikes on the market today. For those especially budget conscience but looking to jump into the downhill game, we offer the all-new Precept 200, our first Swinger Independent Suspension downhill bike, specifically designed for those who don’t want to sacrifice performance but are looking for something somewhat subtler on the pocket book.

SPECIFICATIONS
The Process 167 is the ultimate in DH/freeride/hardcore enduro, with the pedaling performance to get you to the top. A bike that Kona Team rider Graham Agassiz spins and flips with ease will also excel in the burliest of enduro races should you want to race it. As you can see from our product line, we believe in geometry before wheel-size hype; this bike is no different. The Entourage ripped because of its stellar combination of ultra-short chainstays (415mm), low BB (2mm drop), responsive 170mm travel and slack head angle (65). To fit 27.5-inch wheels in this frame we would have had to lengthen the chainstay, raised the bottom bracket, or reduced the travel. With proven geometry on the ultra plush, super stiff and reliable Process platform, rest assured the new 167 is going to be a trail scream. If you wanted to call this bike the new Stinky, we’d be ok with that.

MTB: RACE LIGHT Super fast and really fun: that’s how we like to describe our 2015 lineup of Race Light XC bikes. Since cross-country legend Joe Murray designed some of our first bikes back in 1988, we’ve always been focused on creating incredibly light, ridiculously fast mountain bikes. But what differentiates us from the competition is our want to ensure our bikes deliver equally on the smile quotient. From our technically capable Hei Hei series of dual-suspension trail igniters to the legendary ride of the Kahuna hardtails, no one puts more fun into going fast than Kona. GEOMETRY

PRECEPT DL
MTB: TRAIL 29” HT We’ve been making 29-inch-wheel hardtails for a very long time. You could say we’ve been doing it from the outset, long before most companies embraced the beauty of the big wheel. From our testing center in Bellingham, Washington, where wet roots and perennial mud make for long, challenging, and highly rewarding rides, the simplicity of 29-inch-wheel hardtails has always made sense. No surprise then, we’ve spent the better part of a decade making sure they runSPECIFICATIONS perfectly.

PRECEPT The genre-defining Precept takes the rollability, traction and quick handling of 27.5-inch wheels and 120mm of Kona’s Swinger Independent Suspension to create an incredibly efficient climber and a faster, more stable, descender. Thanks to an amazing price, it’s a bike that knows no bounds. Outfitted with a Shimano drivetrain highlighted by a Deore Shadow rear derailleur, 130mm RockShox fork and refined trail geometry with excellent standover, the Precept is everything a great mountain bike should be: solid, smooth and full of smiles.

One of our longest-running models continues to rock on with better rolling and obstacle-annihilating 27.5-inch wheels; the Blast is the perfect ride for cyclists venturing ever further into the flaming-hot radness of singletrack.

CROSS CYCLOCROSS
Here at Kona, we love cyclocross. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a leg-shaving skin suiter or a wool-ensconced commuter, we make a ‘cross bike to fit your demands. From the top down we incorporate race-inspired geometry with neatly tucked-away amenities like fender mounts, rack, and water bottle mounts. In short, our CX bikes are designed with ulterior motives in mind. The course tape is just a reference and we’re not afraid to encourage you to color outside the lines. Go out and give ‘er! Just be back in time for dinner and wash your hands.

These are the originals. Using road’s heritage in steel, and with geometry more attune to versatility, confidence, style and comfort, our Road Classic platform is all about blending the old with the new, creating bikes designed to stand the test of time and define an era. HONKY TONK We have a lot of commuters who work at Kona, hardcore employees who brave the elements from summer and fall straight through winter and then spring. They endure everything from snow to incessant rain, long distances, dark hours and heavy loads. We built the Honky Tonk specifically for them. The result is a well-thought-out Reynolds 520 road frame that’s comfortable, light and smooth, with components and features specific to cycling in the rain, like long-reach calipers for excellent big-tire and fender clearance.

HONKY TONK “The ideal steel commuter that might encourage your inner explorer to come out.” CYCLING PLUS (UK)
FREERANG FREERANGE
These are the bikes made to go everywhere, imbued with the ability to turn you into an everywhere riding animal. From the deep snows of wintery climes to the warm sand of beachy ones to the big wild world of singletrack, gravel fire roads and bumpy pavement in between, in our ever-growing Freerange platform you’ll find exceedingly detail-oriented and well-designed bikes able to do it all. Ride free, good cycling person. Ride free. HONKY TONK We have a lot of commuters who work at Kona, hardcore employees who brave the elements from summer and fall straight through winter and then spring. They endure everything from snow to incessant rain, long distances, dark hours and heavy loads. We built the Honky Tonk specifically for them. The result is a well-thought-out Reynolds 520 road frame that’s comfortable, light and smooth, with components and features specific to cycling in the rain, like long-reach calipers for excellent big-tire and fender clearance.
