Kona remember their first mountain bike. For many of them it was a bike like the Lanai. Affordable enough not to feel too risky but stocked with components that give you the freedom to explore off-road. The Lanai features integrated shifters and brake levers to streamline the cockpit and is now available in three wheel sizes: 26″ for size XS 27.5″ for S and M and 29″ for L and XL. With a n 8-speed drivetrain grippy disc brakes and a 100mm travel fork the Lanai is the perfect way to taste what real singletrack riding has to offer. Kona 6061 AluminiumKona 7005 and 6061 Aluminum alloys are used extensively throughout their fleet of mountain and asphalt bicycles. A tough durable light alloy both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of the 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed meaning the tubings wall thickness can be increased or decreased as well as shaped so Kona can fine-tune a particular frames strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application. internal headsetBearing cups are actually pressed into the frame and are easily removable. An internal headset also reduces stack height so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable giving the rider the best fit possible. Tapered head tubeMore girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder while providing confident steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is goinginto the lower headset cupmaximizing bearing durability where its needed.
