The New Kona Explosif… Damn!

With new Kona models arriving over the next couple of weeks, we’re doing a series of posts here to introduce the new bikes. Keep an eye here for rad new bikes and updates to current models. Next up: the updated (and damn sweet if we may say so) Explosif…


EXPLOSIF

Kona’s heritage in steel hardtails runs deep, and today’s Explosif is a direct descendant of our legendary originals. The Explosif’s Reynolds 520 cromoly frame has been updated with a new seat tube gusset for improved standover and retains our sliding dropouts for you single speed lovers out there.
This year we’ve pulled out all the stops with the Explosif’s spec. A SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and Guide brakes, the brand new 35mm-stanchion RockShox Revelation fork with 120mm of travel, a Reverb dropper with 1x lever, and tubeless-ready Maxxis tires on WTB i29 TCS rims.
The Explosif rides like only a Kona can, and we’re sure you’ll appreciate it for years to come.
