After several months of use, including nine days on the Baja Cape Loop, Miles shares his review of the new Kona LBF...
Mountain-bike-inspired geometry and angles work well with drop bars
Expedition-ready thanks to a stout frame and plenty of mounting points
Sliding dropouts, external cables, and a robust build are appreciated while bikepacking
Build kit shines against other drop-bar MTBs, especially the four-piston brakes, handlebar, and included dropper post
High stack and long front-end resulted in a very comfortable and usable riding position in the drops for the rowdiest terrain
Generous tire clearance and 100mm travel fork make for a comfortable ride
Stock tires might be suitable for some terrain, but I was eager to swap them out for a faster rolling tread for bikepacking
Finding the balance between fit, stack height, stem height, and various hand positions can be complicated
No seat tube bottle mounts
33 pounds isn’t exactly light
Single, slightly pricey stock build, and no option for frame-only

Meet the LBF. A heavy, aggressively spec'd drop bar hardtail that will leave you questioning what is possible on drop bars. Kona is so back.

Sure, Bigfoot can get rad on the Kona L.B.F. But can you? And would you want to?
