Expirience with the Kona Cinder Cone

Ludwig Döhl When using it as on sporty excursions, the Kona Cinder Cone really shows its full potential. The 435 mm short chainstays make for playful handling. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Kona Hardtail has a sporty seating position. The Cinder Cone shows what its capable of in the downhill. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
