Kona Splice 29er Hardtail
Product DescriptionOne shouldn't be afraid of mutations, at least beautiful ones. When we take the speed, acceleration and diversity of our 29er hardtail geometry and "Splice" it with the efficiencies of our commuter expertise, we arrive at an evolutionary creation bestowed with grace, finesse and a dash of, dare we say, toughness. With the same geometry as our legendary Kahuna, but with an 80mm fork and components designed to spin everything from backroads to backcountry, the Splice is best described as a cross between a Kahuna and a Dew. Designed for those who like to balance a real smooth ride with real good value.

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: August 17, 2012 Strengths: As soon as I took this out and let it eat up potholes like they were cupcakes I was convinced. Super comfortable geometry thats suited for the work commute or hitting the trail for hours at a time. I have the tires it came with for off roading and then swap them out for 700c x 40 tires for the city. Super versatile bike. My favorite is the top speed this bike can reach, it's intense . Weaknesses: The brakes and possibly the saddle. They cheaped out on the mechanical disc brakes. They are finicky as hell. I have since gotten use to the saddle but I believe most would probably like to upgrade. Bottom Line:

from creve coeur, il, usa Date Reviewed: March 13, 2012 Strengths: Outstanding 29er hardtail in this price point great frame geometry, very comfortable to ride whether you are bumping along on fire roads with the shock locked out or climbing and weaving on single track. Good stand over height to get behind the seat for the down hills. This comes with mechanical brakes whitch i still prefer over hydralics, just a preferance. Weaknesses: The Kona site says this comes with a wtb saddle but thats wrong. It comes with a Velo saddle, which is embossed with the kona 29er trademark. So its worth swapping it out just to keep the saddle nice. I did put a WTB Speed V on it. The pedals should also be swapped. It comes with basic wellgo platforms, i prefer platform pedals with the steel studs like the Wellgo WAM-B25. Over all very minor changes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wild Life Prarie Park Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $680.00 Purchased At: Little Ades Pekin Il Similar Products Used: 2011 Giant Talon 29er, 2005 Giant Yukon Bike Setup: Mostly stock, added a WTB Speed V saddle and Wellgo WAM-B25
