Expirience with the Kona KAHUNA

Ludwig Döhl Do you want to ride your bike in light terrain? So does the Kona Hardtail. With its geometry, the Kona Hardtail is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. When it comes to the seating position, Kona chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. With the Racebike of Kona, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain.
