The manufacturer Kona is one of the pioneers since the beginning of the MTB boom in the eighties and nineties. The brand stands for fine mountain bikes with high play and fun factor. Kona bikes also set visual accents with their unique design to this day. The spirit of Hawaii always shines through in the models across all price classes. And bikes like the Kona Kahuna are one of the reasons that hardtail mountain bikes have been experiencing a renaissance for some time. One learns to appreciate the uncomplicated technology again. The low weight is also an argument. And an agile hardtail simply provides an incomparable driving pleasure on the trail.
The Kahuna is Kona's top model in the hardtail lineup and comes with a high-quality RockShox Recon Silver RL air suspension fork that offers 100 millimeters of travel. As a flawless twentyniner, you benefit from the excellent rolling comfort of the large wheels in all frame sizes. Even more so thanks to the excellent Maxxis Forecaster tires. When it comes to gears and brakes, you can't go wrong with the proven Shimano Deore components either.
Kona was one of the first manufacturers of sloping frames. That is, with the top tube sloping backwards. This design provides great leg and stride clearance for safe and comfortable off-road handling. This design has proven itself to this day and is partly responsible for the zippy handling of Kona hardtails. Tuning tip: With a telescopic seatpost, the Kahuna is even more fun in technical passages. The installation is done quickly, because the frame is prepared with internal channels for such an upgrade.
