Kona Big Unit 29er Hardtail

5/5 (1 Reviews)
MSRP : $2799.00


Product Description

It's widely regarded as one of the best-riding 29er hardtail singlespeeds ever made. And we're not lying, just check out our Facebook page. It's a veritable Big-Unit lover's paradise. For 2012, we take the incredibly lightweight, strong and smooth riding characteristics of Kona Scandium 6069 Butted tubing, tweak the geometry by lowering the front and shortening the rear end, add a great component package and a look that's 500 per cent cool, and you've got one of the mountain bike world's most coveted singlespeed rides.

    Strengths:    Light, Strudy, Chuckable, Very Loveable. Easily adaptable to geared if wished. Love the race face cranks, lockout is good on the fly. Every aspect is pretty, finishing kit is Tops.

    Weaknesses:    Too pretty.

    Bottom Line:   
    Early days yet for me with SS 29ers. 26ers were to harsh but this thing is inspiring. Had it now for 2 weeks and 40 k per day all weather. Super in the woods, geared nicely for moderate climbs but light enough to struggle up what you'd think impossible. Love the way the thing corners, much tighter and confident than what I'm used to. Will probably get a geared back wheel later to swap out when I like. Will drop down to a 16,15 or 14 rear cog for road trips as a SSer but the 18 it comes with is great for off road. Think its bye bye cross country 26er full sussers for me. This bike is a keeper.
