Expirience with the Kona Lana’i

Ludwig Döhl If you buy the Kona Racebike, you will really feel suitably prepared for on sporty excursions. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. Thanks to a moderate 68 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. Considering that in the range under 800 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
