Details

Explosif is a classic Kona nameplate with a ride that's as dialed as ever. Sitting atop this Reynolds 520 steel beauty, you'll immediately take note of Kona's proven frame geometry, tapered head tube, 142x12mm sliding rear drops, and let's not forget the 27.5-inch WTB wheels and Maxxis tires that glide over obstacles with ease, yet still remain playful, fun, and quick. More modern tech comes from the 1x11 Shimano XT drivetrain with smooth shifting, while the Fox 34 Float fork soaks up the hits with a nice 120mm of travel. Whether your taste is all-day epics, singlespeed spins, or speed-demon race courses, the legendary Explosif is just as ready as its always been!
