2016 Kona Kahuna DL Mountain Bike

You race on the weekends and battle with your buddies every Tuesday. In between, you’re ripping through fantastic miles of sweet singletrack. Meet your new best friend. A complete frame redesign infuses our legendary XC 29-inch hardtail racer with new weaponry when it comes to comfort, control and speed.

Frame Features:

Featuring the same all-new front triangle as the Kahuna DDL and Honzo, the Kahuna DL represents a from-the-ground-up re-think of our hardtail mountain bikes. First, we’re introducing size increments that ensure we hit every type of rider. Now you can get closer to having a custom fit between a size structure (S, M, L, XL) that’s consistent across our entire range of mountain bikes. New aspects of the geometry are related to the ride and handling, with slacker head tube angles, lower bottom brackets and shorter chainstays. The result is a more capable bike for more challenging terrain, without comprising speed and efficiency when under power.
