Expirience with the Kona CINDER CONE

Ludwig Döhl When using the bike for in light terrain, the Racebike von Kona with its 100 mm on the fork is totally spot on. The lively character invites you to throw the bike around with ease. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the CINDER CONE has a sporty seating position. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Kona is behind its products.
