KONA ARRIVES BACK AT HALFORDS
After a brief spell away, Kona is back at Halfords with a range of stunning models. Kona is a brand that has always pushed the envelope with its designs and has a well deserved reputation for being at the forefront of mountain biking, hailing from the off-road mecca of the North Shore mountains near Vancouver, Canada.
The first models to arrive in-store in July will be the 2015 Lava Dome 29er, Fire Mountain 27.5, Dew 700c Hybrid and to celebrate this new partnership, an all exclusive to Halfords model; the NuNu 27.5. The Blast 27.5 will join this fantastic line-up in September.
The exclusive and Limited Edition Kona NuNu 27.5 is a classic all rounder that gets a radical facelift this year. Taking advantage of the better rolling and obstacle-annihilating 27.5-inch wheel size, Kona have been able to take the NuNu into a more modern manifestation as a confident, quick-handling and smooth-riding cross-country bike at a fantastic price of £699.
The Lava Dome is another Kona with great heritage. The 2015 29er model features a 6061 Aluminium frame with fantastic handling and superb componentry. Suntour XCT 100mm travel front suspension is coupled with a SRAM X4 drivetrain to provide brilliant shifting performance and great control. The Lava Dome 29er retails at £499 and is a superb bike for the rider wanting to get out onto the hills in order to hone their riding skill set and start tackling the longer and more technical trails
The Kona Fire Mountain 27.5 is the perfect choice for a rider wanting to get off the beaten track and cut their teeth as a committed mountain biker. Well thought out componentry including Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, a Shimano Altus 27 speed drivetrain and Suntour XCR 100mm front fork give this bike a great spec and superb handling at a price of only £549.
Joining the Kona MTB line-up in September is the Blast 27.5; a stunning mtb hardtail with exceptional heritage and is one of the longest-running mountain bike models in the history of the sport. Brought bang up to date with a 27.5 inch wheel set on Kona’s amazing race-light Scandium frame. Deore/Alivio drivetrain takes care of the shifting and Shimano’s M396 hydraulic disc brakes offers sharp but controlled braking. A RockShox XC30 gives the bike 100mm of plush front-end travel and Maxxis tyres ensure it has phenomenal trail grip and all for only £799.
All four MTB models are available in three frame sizes: 17”, 19” and 21”.
For the city commuter and weekend leisure rider the Kona Dew may be the perfect choice, featuring a 24 speed Shimano drivetrain, powerful alloy V-brakes and fast rolling Kenda 700c tyres which make the Kona Dew equally at home gliding along a country path as it is carving through busy city streets and all for only £399.
The all new Kona 2015 line-up remain the bikes for the rider who wants to hit the trail or city streets hard. Built to withstand anything the city or tail can throw at you these bikes are not for the shrinking violet.
