Description: Kona have a long-standing history of designing dual suspension cross country bikes for grueling races at some of the sports highest levels. Long standing due to the fact that we decided early on that the most relevant innovations come from the top racing talent in the world. Right now, the Kona / Les Gets Factory Team uses the race proven Kona 4-bar rear suspension for all of their Cross Country Dual Suspension needs.
The King Kikapu is a race ready dual suspension bike geared for strenuous cross country racing conditions. It represents a perfected ratio of strength to weight that gives riders confidence (and speed) when race conditions get rough.
