When thinking about the mountain bike, our lineup of hardtails tells the story of more than three decades of innovation, durability, and good old-fashioned fun. While many of these names have been in the Kona lineup for decades, they’ve evolved with the times to be more efficient, better designed, and leaders in the hardtail category. We know people look to our hardtails as everything from gateway mountain bikes, to their daily shred machines, and are proud to offer a bike for a wide variety of customers.
It’s called the Kahuna for a reason. This bike is the king of our classic hardtail lineup and it’s often the bike that makes people realize how awesome a mountain bike can be. With its confidence-inspiring progressive geometry, 29” wheels, 100mm suspension fork, and internal cable routing for an optional dropper post, the Kahuna is at home on your local singletrack or flow park. The Kahuna features nice touches such as a 12-speed drivetrain and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. It’s the bike that’s ready to get you to the next level!
The Mahuna strikes that perfect balance of mountain bike and all-around fun rig. Its 29” wheels easily roll over obstacles and provide a smooth, predictable ride. The fork features 100mm of smooth travel and together with the 29” wheels, helps keep bumps in check. You have complete control over stopping with powerful hydraulic disc brakes. An 11-speed drivetrain makes quick work of tough hills ensuring the Mahuna is as fun going up as it is going down.
Much like its larger-wheeled sibling, the Mahuna, the Cinder Cone is the perfect all-rounder for the person looking to ride off-road or cruise around the backwoods bike paths. It features an air fork with 100mm of travel, as well as a dependable 11-speed drivetrain and disc brakes. If you’re a fan of plus bikes, you can run up to 2.8” tires. The Cinder Cone is where the mountain meets functionality at a great price.
