Dive deep into the green folds of the world on one of Kona’s highly innovative models of backcountry bikes. Built to churn burl into butter, Kona’s line of Dawgs and all-new Magic Link Cadabras use every ounce of technology available to make the interface between wild cyclist and wild country a seamless endeavor. Revolutionary and patented suspension platforms designed by ex-Formula 1 suspension designer, Brian Berthold, Scandium tubing (see Dew Files – The Scandium Story), and trail-tested designs ensure your romp on challenging, technically oriented trails is faster than any mutant forest animal could ever muster.
Dawg
We’ve put some added meat and muscle into our backcountry scrambler. More aggressive geometry, faster suspension, beefier components and stiffer all-around construction-like a new 1.5″ tapered headtube, the new and improved Dawg comes keen to attack obstacles with tongue a flappin’. For those looking to enter the world’s universe of backcountry burl for the first time, or just a beautiful bike with no boundaries, this is your new best friend.
Dawg Deluxe
Get your paws out, the new 2010 Kona Dawg Deluxe comes barking for a good run. Our all-mountain, backcountry bred beauty will take you up and down and over and back. Light but strong, tough but graceful, with a new 1.5″ tapered headtube for increased stability, more aggressive geometry for technical trail riding, light and durable Scandium frame and a RockShox Recon 335 Solo Air 140mm travel fork, the only thing not included is a good leash.
Cadabara
Our all-new, gorgeously designed freak of nature might just be the most ultimate trail bike in all of creation. Check it: a sub 30-pound four-inch travel bike with the ability to jump to six-inches in the rear when certain “situations” arise. Built using a Scandium frame, with a tapered headtube and a 15mm front axle for super stability, not to mention all sorts of sexy cold forged frame components and beautiful lines. Featuring Kona’s G2 Magic Link technology, which instinctively changes suspension performance and bike geometry depending on terrain and type of riding, this is truly a ride for the ages.
Abra Cadabara
A slice of magic pie for riders looking to forego the quiver and do it all with one ride. From XC to backcountry, enduro descents to technical ascents, the all-new Abra Cadabra delivers a wide range of riding applications thanks to a hat full of tricks. Check it: a sub 30-pound four-inch travel bike with the ability to jump to six-inches in the rear when certain “situations” arise.
