Kona Coilair (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:55 -0400

The Kona Coilair (2011) is the flagship offering in this line of freestyle mountain bikes. This bike has been completely overhauled for 2011, the most important changes being the addition of a Fox 36 180mm Talas fork (for added stiffness and stability), Avid Elixir 5 brakes (as opposed to Shimano M575 brakes), and more durable Easton hubs and rims. These features are also what help to put this model at a higher cost than the Operator FR (2011). Another major difference between the Coilair (2011) and Operator FR (2011) models is the Coilair (2011) model's Magic Link intuitive rear suspension system, which automatically morphs depending on what kind of riding you are doing (cross-country, climbing, descent), so as to provide the most comfortable and stable ride possible.

Kona Stinky TL (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:55 -0400

The Kona Stinky TL (2011) is the base model in this line of out of bounds/freeride mountain bikes. This bike is equipped with an aluminum frame geared toward durability. Aiding in durability is Kona's 4-bar linkage dual suspension system, which has separated pivots to create a stiff rear end. This model is a step down from the next-in-line Operator FR (2011) in that the Operator FR (2011) has a Fox Van rear shock (for enhanced shock absorption over the Stinky TL (2011) model's Fastrax shock), and has Avid Code R brakes (which belong to a higher price bracket and are generally more powerful than the Stinky TL (2011) model's Avid Elixir 5 brakes).

Kona Supreme Operator (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:57 -0400

Kona's Supreme Operator 2011 model is the first of its kind and is Kona's most expensive mountain bike. It is specifically for downhill riding, and is the upgraded version of the Operator DH model. The geometry is the same, and the frame is made of aluminum with 64-degree head tube, tapered internal head tube and oversized pivots. It has 200mm of frame travel and uses a Fox DHX RC4 rear coil and RockShox' Boxxer WC 200mm fork with 20mm of adjustment. The rear shock is one upgrade over the regular Operator, but the most obvious differences that raise the price are a full Shimano Saint drivetrain, brake set, and hubs. It also has Easton Havoc handlebars, stem, and seatpost. Mavic rims with Maxxis tires complete the wheels. This bike offers stiffness and control in a frame intended for competition.

Kona Blast (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:53 -0400

Kona's Blast 2011 is an entry-level cross-country mountain bike that falls in the middle of the XC Hardtail lineup, and its price point also falls right in the middle of this bike group. This incarnation of the Blast has upgrades over the 2010 model, most notably a RockShox Tora front coil suspension instead of 2010's Dart 2. The hydraulic disc brakes are also Shimano instead of Tektro, and the shifters and front derailleur are Shimano's Alivio rather than Acera. The tires are also Maxxis Aspens instead of Kenda Komodos. This bike is intended for recreational XC riding and is suitable for all levels of experience.

Kona Shred (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:56 -0400

Kona's Shred 2010 model is an entry-level dirt jump or trail bike with a front suspension and street-style frame, with decent sandover height and aluminum tubing to absorb impact. The front suspension is Marzocchi's Dirt Jumper 3 with 100mm of travel. It has mostly entry-level components, and is quite similar to the 2010 version. The only real upgrade is the inclusion of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes instead of Hayes mechanical ones. Like the 2010 this bike has Alex rims with 26-inch Maxxis tires. It has the lowest price point of the Dirt Jump/Trail bikes and is marketed as a good introduction to dirt trail riding.

Features

Kona Bass (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:56 -0400

The Bass (2011) is Kona's flagship dirt jump/slopestyle BMX bike. Features new for the 2011 model include shorter chainstays for increased tricking ability, a modified seat tube, and a zero stack tapered head tube-nose case. The Bass has also been made more affordable for 2011, with micro drive chromed cranks, a smaller drive train (28t x 14t), and a Marzocchi DJ2 fork (as opposed to the more expensive DJ1 fork). Features that remain the same for 2011 include a strong yet lightweight aluminum frame. This model is a step up from the lower cost Cowan (2011) model in that it has a Fastrax Air rear shock (which offers vibration absorption), a higher quality FSA Orbit 1.5 headset, and Maxxis Larson TT 26" x 2.35" tires (which are more versatile than the Cowan (2011) model's pavement-oriented Holy Roller tires).

Kona Kona TT

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:13:37 -0400

The Kona Kona TT is a road bike featuring a 7005 Aluminum frame that is tough, durable, affordable, light and potentially dependable. Also featured is a Kona Carbon fork, Mavic wheels, and a Shimano drivetrain. Unlike the barebones Honky models, the Kona TT is utilitarian to a degree, but not so much so that it lacks any advanced features. For instance, included is an internal headset located within the heat tube, which allows it to better absorb stress and therefore improve ride characteristics and overall performance. Additional features include a sloping top tube that allows for more room for correct positioning and free body movement; and a compact rear triangle that helps maintain the right balance between stability and power transfer.

Kona Cowan (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:56 -0400

The single speed Kona Cowan (2011) is the middle offering of this line of BMX bikes. In promotion, Kona emphasizes the fact that this model has become stiffer for 2011. The stiff feel stems from a new dropout design, which use three bolts instead of two. To keep the cost of this bike down, the fork has gone from a Marzocchi DJ1 to a DJ2, which still provides lightweight strength. The brakes of this bike have been changed from the Shimano M575 hydraulic system to the similarly performing Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic system. This model is a step up from the base Shonky (2011) model in terms of its lightweight aluminum frame (the Shonky (2011) model's frame is chromoly), higher performing Marzocchi fork (the Shonky (2011) has a DJ3), and double walled Sun Estate rims (as opposed to cheaper Alex rims).

Kona Shonky (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:56 -0400

The Shonky (2011) is the base offering in Kona's line of dirt jump/slopestyle BMX bikes. Features new for the 2011 model include a new head tube design, smoother lines with curves (instead of tack welded hard lines), Tektro hydraulic brakes (instead of Avid brakes), and a press fit Spanish bottom bracket with a bigger bearing that is more suited to BMX cranks. Features that have not changed include a durable chromoly butted frame. Another feature that remains the same is the Marzocchi DJ3 fork, which offers a rigid feel. The main features that differentiate this model from the higher cost Cowan (2011) are the Cowan (2011) model's aluminum frame (which is lighter than the Shonky (2011) model's chromoly frame), Marzocchi DJ2 fork, and double walled Sun Estate rims (which belong to a higher price bracket than the Shonky (2011) model's Alex rims).

Kona Tanuki (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:52 -0400

Kona's 2011 Tanuki model is a lower mid-range model, and one of Kona's more affordable dual-suspension bikes. It is appropriate for a wide variety of trail conditions and features an intermediate suspension range between the 2+2 (more rigid, less travel) and the Cadabra (more travel). It features an aluminum butted frame, Kona/Fastrax rear suspension, and RockShox Tora air front suspension. It has a Shimano Alivio/Deore drivetrain, Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes, and wheels made of Sun rims with Shimano hubs and proprietary spokes. It is somewhat of a hybrid, intended for smooth single track or rougher wooded trails. The model above it, the Tanuki DL, is fitted for similar purposes but with upgraded components.

Kona Operator FR (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:56 -0400

Available in three different sizes, the Kona Operator FR (2011) is the middle offering in this line of dual suspension mountain bikes. This model is a step up from the lower cost Stinky TL (2011) model in that it has stronger brakes (Avid Code R as opposed to Avid Elixir 5), and a higher quality rear shock (Fox Van as opposed to Fastrax). Features shared between the two models include the 4-bar linkage dual suspension system, which improves suspension performance by minimizing side load on the rear shock. This system also decreases bearing and bushing wear. Another shared feature is a durable yet lightweight 7005 aluminum frame. Both models are equipped with a RockShox Domain fork, which is designed specifically for freeriding.

Kona Operator DH (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:57 -0400

Kona's Operator DH 2011 is the first incarnation of this model, and is specifically for downhill riding. Its geometry reflects this, including 64-degree head tube angle and oversized pivots. The rear shock is a coil, Fox's VAN RC, and the front is a high-travel RockShox Boxxer Race (200mm). SRAM X-7 rear derailleur and shifters are coupled with SRAM chain and freewheel, and E*13 SRS front derailleur make up the drivetrain. The rims are Sandvik and both use Formula disc hubs, for Avid G3 rotors and Code R brakes and levers. The frame is made of aluminum. This model is one of only two downhill models, the second being the Supreme Operator, which uses the same geometry, but has a full Shimano Saint component group. It has a significantly higher price point.

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:52 -0400

Kona's Fire Mountain 2011 model is an entry-level all-purpose mountain bike intended mainly for cross-country riding. It is the second in the Hardtail XC recreational lineup, and very similar to its 2010 version. It has basic components on an aluminum frame (the same frame for the other Hardtail XCs) and a RockShox Dart 1 front suspension, like the 2010 model. This bike has Altus shifters and an Acera front derailleur with an Alivio rear. The rims are from a different manufacturer, Shining, and the tires are Vittoria. Many of the components are of similar quality with different build than the previous year's, the only real exceptions being FSA cranks (instead of Suntour) and Shimano M445 hydraulic disc brakes. This bike has a low price point.

Kona Five-O (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:57 -0400

Kona's Five-O is a mid-range dirt jump/trail bike and comes at the top of the Dirt Jump/Trail lineup. It has an aluminum frame with unique standover design to absorb impact, and a 140mm travel front RockShox coil suspension, intended to absorb impact effectively from jumps. This fork is an upgrade from the 2010 model. This and the other bikes in this series have multiple speeds, and this model uses Alivio shifters and front derailleur with a Deore rear. It also has Avid hydraulic disc brakes, unlike last year's version. The rear stays have replaceable dropouts, and there is an internal headset to improve stiffness and wear. This is the only Dirt Jump/Trail model to use this particular geometry. The derailleurs and shifters have been downgraded one tier from the 2010 model (Deore to Alivio and SLX to Deore).

Kona Stuff (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:57 -0400

Kona's Stuff 2011 model is an entry-level mountain bike intended for technical trail riding and dirt jumping. It is the model just above the more basic Shred, and has very similar features. The only large upgrade is that the fork is Marzocchi's Dirt Jumper 2 instead of the Dirt Jumper 3. Also, the rear derailleur is Deore instead of Alivio. This is also very similar to the 2010 version of this bike, the main difference being that the 2011 has Shimano disc brakes instead of Tektro. It has an aluminum frame with jump geometry and a high standover height, Alex DM-24 rims, and Maxxis tires.

Features

7005 aluminum frame
Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 2 front suspension, 100mm

Kona Caldera (2011)

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:20:53 -0400

Kona's Abra Cadabra 2011 model is a high-end mountain bike intended for all-mountain XC use, and it features high end components and a scandium aluminum alloy frame, which is stronger than aluminum and more durable than carbon. One main feature is that the frame uses Kona's unique "Magic Link" design that constantly adjusts frame geometry to increase efficiency based on terrain conditions, without adjustment to either suspension. The 2010 model also had this feature, and indeed most components are the same. The main differences are that this one uses Avid Elixir R brake calipers and Avid G3 Clean Sweep rotors instead of Shimano SLX, and the wheelset is Easton Haven instead of 2010's Shimano XT.

Other features are similar, including Shimano SLX shifters and front derailleur, XT rear derailleur, and a Mavic crossride wheelset with Maxxis tires. This bike comes with clipless Shimano pedals.

Like the other models it uses the "Magic Link" rear frame suspension, which adapts to trail conditions to increase efficiency while pedalling. It also has a scandium alloy frame to reduce weight and increase strength over aluminum. The rear suspension is a Fox Float RP2 and the front is RockShox' REBA RL with remote, short travel of 100mm.

Kona Dew Deluxe

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:46:29 -0400

The Kona Dew Deluxe is a low-end to mid-range commuter/road bicycle similar to the Kona Dew. The Dew Deluxe's main benefits over the Dew include higher quality components (a Shimano drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes) as well as an internal headset.

Its sloping top tube allows the Dew Deluxe to absorb more shock than frames with horizontal top tubes while also putting the rider in a more secure position when going downhill. Additionally, the Dew Deluxe's compact rear triangle provides the perfect balance of stability and power transfer by way of shorter chain and seat stays.

Kona Kula (2010)

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:13:46 -0400

The Kona Kula is a high-end mountain bike meant for serious competition riders. Its frame is composed of butted 7005 aluminum for dependable durability while hydroformed tubing technology ensures for a seamless, well-aligned structure. Additionally, the Kula's internal headset allows for improved ride characteristics and better bearing performance.

The Kona Kula's butted 7005 aluminum frame composition is a material that was designed specifically for extreme durability as well as unparalleled lightness. Its hydroformed tubing technology provides the Kula with a more sound structure as water was used to form the shape of the frame tubing resulting in a strong, flawless frame with improved lateral stability, durability and responsiveness. Meanwhile, the Kula's internal headset (the headset bearing is located inside the heat tube, rather than the top and bottom) allowing the head tube to take stresses directly, resulting in less play, stronger, improved ride characteristics, and better bearing performance.

Kona Band Wagon

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:38:09 -0400

The Kona Band Wagon is a funkadelically-styled hipster road bike released as a “hopped up” version of the original Paddy Wagon. It’s still geared for adolescents/youngsters and it’s still colorful (powder blue and bright orange deep-dish rim), but it adds along more “cake,” as in improved components and specifications. It’s still bound by a steel frame, but the added Shimano componentry gives it the increased acceleration and power lacking in its predecessor. Included also is a compact rear triangle with short chain stays and seat stays that together offer enhanced balance between stability and power transfer when out of the saddle and hammering.

Kona Honky Tonk

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:30:26 -0400

The Honky Tonk is a budget-friendly road bike featuring a steel frame designed for the strength and resilience required for lengthy riding on rough roads. It’s essentially the layman’s version of the more expensive Kona Honky Inc. Mind you, it’s still utilitarian and capable of handling mud, rain and muck. The difference is that it hosts a more classic road geometry—in that it looks more like a “real bike.” When it comes to functionality, however, the unit is just the same as its counterpart. It hosts a sloping top tube that allows for more room for correct positioning and free body movement; and a compact rear triangle that helps maintain the right balance between stability and power transfer.

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:22:07 -0400

The Kona Bass is a DJ/Slopestyle BMX bike featuring a 7005 Aluminum frame that is tough, durable, affordable, light and supposedly dependable. Designed for serious BMX riders, the Bass is outfitted with Hydroformed tubing, which flares weld points to increase weld areas, in turn adding strength without additional weight. So although the bike is ultra-lightweight, it’s still durable and strong, as was mentioned earlier. Also included is a 4-bar linkage system for minimized side load on the read shock; a sloping top tube for greater room for correct positioning and free body movement; and a compact rear triangle for enhanced stability and power transfer.

Kona Five-O (2010)

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:39:08 -0400

The Kona Five-O is a DJ/Slopestyle BMX bike featuring a 7005 Aluminum frame that is tough, durable, affordable, light and supposedly dependable. It sits right underneath the Kona Bass, but unlike its superior counterpart, the Five-O lacks a 4-Bar Linkage System; plus it hosts slightly lower-quality components. Like its predecessor, however, the Five-O boasts the three most important Kona BMX pieces: an internal headrest for slamming, an aluminum frame for popping, and custom components for snapping. The headrest is located inside the heat tube, which helps it share the load for stronger, improved ride characteristics. Included also is a sloping top tube for more free body movement, and a compact rear triangle for stability and power transfer.

Otherwise, the Kula Gold features the same 7005 butted aluminum frame composition, internal headset and compact rear triangle that the Kula does.

The Kula Gold's 7005 butted aluminum frame is both lightweight and durable thanks to 7005 aluminum alloy's built-in properties, making for a long-lasting mountain bike frame. Its internal headset provides the Kula Gold with improved ride characteristics, and better bearing performance by way of a bearing located inside the head tube, rather than the top and bottom. Additionally, the Kula Gold's compact rear triangle utilizes short chain stays and seat stays for an excellent balance of stability and power transfer.

Kona One20 Deluxe

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:13:29 -0400

The Kona One20 Deluxe is a mountain bike that builds from the original One20 by incorporating Scandium technology. According to Kona, Scandium is a ‘light as titanium’ metal that’s five times stronger than aluminum, but half the weight of steel. The result is a stronger and more durable bike that weighs less and is easier to ride. Like its predecessor, the One20 Deluxe utilizes a Kona Walking Beam 4-Bar Linkage system that keeps pivots far away from each other to minimize tolerance stacking. Also included are magnesium rockers for improved suspension performance and efficiency; asymmetrical chainstays for enhanced pedaling stiffness; and hydroformed tubing technology, which adds strength without adding weight, therefore improving overall ride performance.

Kona Coilair Deluxe

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:36:44 -0400

The Kona Coilair Deluxe is a versatile freeride/park mountain bike, originally released in 2008. The 2010 version of the Coilair Deluxe features the geometry-changing G2 Magic Link technology, a floating break system and asymmetrical chainstays for increased balance. The back end of the Magic Link suspension system keeps the front auxiliary shock from engaging on climbs, allowing for better power transfer. On descents, the Magic Link enables riders to position themselves further behind the bike for a lowered center of gravity and increased sense of stability. Compared to the standard Kona Coilair, this version features higher end components such as a Fox 36 Float RC2 Taper ST fork and a variety of Hammerschmidt , Sram, Shimano and Mavic parts. The Kona Coilair Deluxe is available in frame sizes ranging from 15” to 20”, all of which feature an aluminum hydroformed construction.

Kona Kula Deluxe

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:14:20 -0400

The Kona Kula Deluxe is a high-end hard tail mountain bike similar to the Kona Kula. Its main improvement over the regular Kona Kula is its Scandium alloy composition (as opposed to the Kula's 7005 aluminum frame) which makes for a lighter and stronger frame. Otherwise, the Kona Kula Deluxe sports most of the same features as the Kona Kula, including hydroformed tubing and an internal headset.

The Kula Deluxe's Scandium alloy frame composition is twice as strong as 7005 or 6061 aluminum while still being 10 to 15% lighter than either one; its Scandium frame gives the Kula Deluxe the characterisitcs of a steel bike at half of the weight. Its hydroformed tubing gives the Kula Deluxe a more stable and balanced frame construction by way of liquid used to form the shape of its tubing and align its grain structure. Additionally, the Kula Deluxe's internal headset provides less play, improved ride characteristics, and better bearing performance through a headset bearing that is located inside the head tube rather than above or below.
