Expirience with the Kona Mahuna

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on long tours, the Mahuna really comes into its own. Thanks to a moderate 68 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Kona Mahuna, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on long tours, the Racebike of Kona is one of the best models in the on long tours category. Kona gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
