KONA CROSS-COUNTRY HARDTAIL DESIGN FEATURES

1) Sloping Top Tube

  • Long top tube provides more room for correct positioning and free body movement
  • Allows for more stand-over clearance, critical on dual suspension due to higher bottom bracket
  • Vertically more compliant main frame absorbs more shock than frames with horizontal top tubes
  • Puts rider in secure position for downhill sections

2) Compact Rear Triangle

  • 16.75" chain stays provide perfect balance of stability and power transfer when out of the saddle
  • Shorter seat stays have less deflection during braking and accelerate quicker than longer stays
  • Kona custom butted stays make a rear triangle for the most efficient rear power transfer feasible

3) Extended Seat Tube

  • Lower attachment of top tube has more stand-over, more compliant frame and compact rear triangle. Custom external butting provides additional material to strengthen extended portion.
  • Kona uses seat clamps that provide worry free locking power. Clamps are easy to replace if ever damaged, and eliminate the welded seat clamps, which can distort the seat tube during fabrication.

4) Long Headtube
  • Provides stronger support at top tube and down tube intersection for suspension forks
  • Distributes shock better and prolongs headset bearing life
  • Stronger steering position improves balance and gives more control in rough terrain
