Kona Kahuna review

Apr 2022 · Mick Kirkman

Kona has nailed the ride quality, and the good brakes and low-slung frame boost confidence if you’re feeling frisky

Highs
  • Balanced, intuitive ride

  • Looks great

  • Excellent drivetrain and brakes for the price

Lows
  • More traditional geometry and lack of a dropper post limits downhill capability
