Big wheels, big confidence, big fun. This is the ultimate hard tail, perfect for rolling singletrack that goes and goes some more. Built using hydroformed tubing for a lighter, tighter, truer frameset, this year the Kahuna comes with a RockShox Tora fork, with wider diameter 32mm stanchions, and a substantially better crown for increased overall stiffness. Featuring a 29er Kona Kahuna wheelset, a custom, beer can inspired WTB Valcon saddle and a lighter Kona XC/Road stem. Time to go big.
