There’s a real world need for bikes that are designed not to be for cross country riding and not for freeriding, but for a happy medium that combines the best of both worlds. The Kona Back Country series delivers all mountain durability and fun factor with the DNA to burn a quick pace line up a long twisting fire road. If you can only own one bike this is the series to look at.

Our Kona Clump Team has been the driving force behind our Stinky and Coiler bikes. These world-class athletes travel the globe in search of our sport’s most progressive freeride terrain and conditions. With their input, our designers are able to create what’s happening right now in freeride scenes all over the world. Basically, these guys are rolling off of cliffs…so you don’t have to. Or maybe you do…anyhow, these are the bikes to hold onto when you’re making that leap

Arguably (amongst arguers) the most “innovation” demanding race category is World Cup Downhill. And with all this arguing going on…Kona has quietly designed a downhill bike that has twice crowned a Downhill World Champion. Building upon our longstanding philosophy that athletes provide the best collaboration for our designers, Kona has the fastest downhill bikes four our Kona Les Gets Factory Team. If these bikes can win World Championships, they can probably contend with whatever you’ve got lined up this weekend.

Cross Country riding and Cross Country racing are cornerstones of Kona Bicycles. For the last 17 years we’ve collaborated with and sponsored some of the fastest racers in the world, who ride the most demanding courses out there. Each one of them contributes to design and innovation in order for our bikes to withstand World Cup racing and the brutal punishment it puts on equipment. This year, the Kona Les Gets Factory Team will be putting our bikes through another rigorous season of racing, research and development.

Completely new for 2006 is the Kona Road line. Actually, it’s new to you, but not that new to us. We’ve been d designing and building road bikes for the last 17 years that we’ve been in business, but not until now have we introduced them with such a program. Why? We’re meticulous about getting design perfect and specs beyond perfect. We just don’t believe in using our customers as our R&D department. Thanks for being patient and now the wait is over.

Kona Dirt Jumping embodies what our design philosophy is all about. We design durability, function and experience into everything that we do. If you have the need to flip on two wheels with the comfort of knowing that you’re flying on innovation from those who’ve flipped before…check these out, they’re flippin’ sweet

Kona Asphalt is our line of bikes designed for all types of urban riding. Riding city streets isn’t just a practice of slapping skinny tires on a mountain bike or making a road bike more upright, it’s about designing solutions and styles that fit everybody from the BikeHotRod to the Dr. Dew. As we’ve said in the past…ride it, beat it, lock it to a random pole.
