Expirience with the Kona UNIT

Ludwig Döhl With its steel frame and rigid fork, the UNIT is a bike for stylers and purists. With its geometry, the UNIT is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The seating position is sporty. 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 puts a lot of trust in its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Racebike von Kona sizing runs big.
