OVERVIEW DETAILED SPECS TECHNOLOGY REVIEWS GLOSSARY

Our classic beach/bar/chick/dude/townie/lunch/klunker/smoothie run cruiser keeps all the class its won over the last decade. We spruce it up a little with different tires, a brake lever with integrated bell, springer saddle and V brakes. Oh yeah, this year it's made out of aluminum with sparkling black paint. Super simple and classy, and a really cool name.

7005 Aluminum

Aluminum is currently the most widely used tubing material in the bicycle industry. Aluminum is often mixed with a number of other elements to create aluminum alloys featuring a host of different ride characteristics, while increasing mechanical properties. Much of our tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning that the wall thickness of the tubing can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, allowing us to fine tune a particular frame's ride characteristics depending on the application. Kona uses butted 7005 aluminum extensively throughout our entire range of mountain, asphalt and road bicycles. A tough, durable, affordable, light, and dependable alloy, 7005 delivers great performance that lasts for thousands of rides. It is, by far and away, the ultimate aluminum tubing on the market today.

Sloping Top Tube

Kona recognized the advantages of sloping top tube frame design right from the original models we made in 1988, designed by inaugural MTB Hall of Fame legend Joe Murray. As a company, we've stayed true to this philosophy, going so far as to pioneer the design in road bikes before the benefits were understood. Today, you'll find sloping top tubes in most high-end road race bicycles. We've since stayed true to all the many positives this design brings to overall bike performance and comfort.

First, this design allows the top tube to be lower, providing more room for correct positioning and free body movement, enabling more standover clearance, which is particularly useful on dual suspension bikes that have higher bottom brackets. Riders have a more secure riding position, which is especially beneficial when riding downhill sections.

Also, the top tube is longer and more compliant. As the top and down tube become more parallel, there's less triangulation, resulting in more compliancy. So not only is the frame stronger and more responsive, but it absorbs more shock than frames with horizontal top tubes.

Compact Rear Triangle

Short chain stays and seat stays provide a perfect balance of stability and power transfer when out of the saddle and pedaling hard. Shorter seat stays also have less deflection during braking and accelerate quicker than longer stays. The shorter rear triangle also helps the bike to negotiate tight twisting sections of trail.

Kona Sizing and Fit

Sizing and fit have always been one of the main strengths of the Kona range, with more stock sizes available than any other bike company. With our range of bicycles expanding significantly over the last couple of years, we felt it was time to overhaul our size scale.

We started with the overwhelming request for longer top tubes on our XC mountain bikes. The average increase is ½-inch (15-20mm), which we coupled with shorter stems and slightly shorter headset stack heights. The steps between sizes were evened out to ½-inch or 1-inch increments, and there are still up to 7 sizes: from 14-inch to 22-inch on many models.

In the asphalt range, top tube lengths were marginally lengthened, with the size gaps revised to even 15 to 20mm steps. There are still up to 6 sizes" from 46cm to 61cm on most models.

When it's called for, seat posts are either offset or straight to maximize the reach and power output of the rider. More importantly, the overall sizing on mountain bikes and road bikes allow Kona dealers and riders to determine their fit more easily from model to model and category to category.

The net result is better fit on the entire range, with a simplified system that allows easy fine-tuning and a perfect marriage of bike and rider throughout our entire 2011 range.

Lifetime Warranty

Kona warrants to the original owner that the frame of this new Kona bicycle purchased from an authorized Kona dealer shall be free of defective materials or workmanship for the lifetime of ownership by the original owner. Carbon frames have a 5 year warranty. During this warranty period, Kona shall repair or replace, at its sole option, the bicycle frame if Kona determines the frame is defective and subject to this limited warranty.
