2010 Kona road bike Single Speed Fixie Grand Wagon

Kona has seventy-eight unique models of bicycles in their 2010 line up. 30 of them are some kind of road bike, and of the with 14 brand spank’n new models for 2010, 8 are road bikes. And as KONA puts it, “each built to sparkle and shred.” Nearly all of the returning models of 2010 have been touched in some way. Part of that refinement is shaving weight off of existing bike designs. Sixty-one out of the 64 returning models are lighter than 2009. On average their bikes are 8% lighter than last year.

New for 2010, Kona has added the WorldBike, Dr. Fine and Super Dew to their “Asphalt” line. Bikes designed for comfort and commuting. For their racier lines of road bikes and single speeds Kona has added the Honky Inc., Band Wagon, Grand Wagon (above), Dr. Lisa, and the Major One, a a Scandium frame singlespeed cyclocross bike. Classics like the Haole may not be new, but have been given an upgraded Shimano 105 drive train and weighs in at an amazing 16.8lbs for a steel frame bike.

KONA TECHNOLOGIES:

Scandium is one of the lightest and strongest metals in the world.

scandium

Scandium is a potent grain refiner that, when added to aluminum alloys, elevates the strength and durability of the material by 50% and allows for weight savings of 10- 15% over their aluminum frames.

Hydroformed tubing is a forming technology that uses a liquid to form the shape of a tube. The process results in a seamless, continuous, aligned piece of metal that can take on heavily shaped forms that can’t be achieved with normal extrusions. This proves especially advantageous at weld points where it can be flared to increase weld areas, essentially, adding strength without adding weight. The result is a strong, flawless frame with great lateral stability, durability and responsiveness.

Sloping Top Tube. As the pioneer of sloping top tubes in mountain bike frame design, Kona has since stayed true to all the many positives this design technology brings to the trail. It allows the top tube to be longer, providing more room for correct positioning and free body movement. It also allows for more standover clearance, critical on dual suspension bikes due to a higher bottom bracket. It also puts the rider in a more secure position for downhill sections of trail.

Compact Rear Triangle. Short chain stays and seat stays provide a balance of stability and power transfer. Shorter seat stays also have less deflection during braking and accelerate quicker than longer stays.

Tapered Head Tube. For bikes using suspension forks, especially longer travel models, a tapered head tube provides more support at the intersection of the top tube and down tube.
