Electric-Assist:

Using low profile, re-chargeable Samsung 18650 Lithium Ion batteries, Kona's electric assist technology is based on 700C bicycle trekking types that use a 24-volt, 250W battery-assisted Pedelec motor. Using a patented Dutch design TMM torque sensor and a precise digital processor, the power assist from the front wheel drive motor can be delivered in proportion with the exact power output of the rider. The result is a very smooth, effortless ride. The system's battery capacity is 24V with 10Ah (Amp Hour), (24V 13Ah for the Electric Ute) delivering a long lifecycle of more than 700 rides. In power mode, the system can assist riding for up to 30km. In normal mode, power assist lasts up to 57km, while in economy mode, the battery has a huge 100km range (all range tests were conducted using a 85kg/190lbs in a mild headwind condition). We've also incorporated a very sophisticated battery management system to detect cell performance and balance, with an incredibly accurate charge indicator. Because Kona is all about quality, our electric assist bikes are the first on the market to pass the stringent CEN 15194 standard for Pedelec bikes in Europe. 7005 Aluminum Aluminum is currently the most widely used tubing material in the bicycle industry. Aluminum is often mixed with a number of other elements to create aluminum alloys featuring a host of different ride characteristics, while increasing mechanical properties. Much of our tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning that the wall thickness of the tubing can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, allowing us to fine tune a particular frame's ride characteristics depending on the application. Kona uses butted 7005 aluminum extensively throughout our entire range of mountain, asphalt and road bicycles. A tough, durable, affordable, light, and dependable alloy, 7005 delivers great performance that lasts for thousands of rides. It is, by far and away, the ultimate aluminum tubing on the market today. Sloping Top Tube Kona recognized the advantages of sloping top tube frame design right from the original models we made in 1988, designed by inaugural MTB Hall of Fame legend Joe Murray. As a company, we've stayed true to this philosophy, going so far as to pioneer the design in road bikes before the benefits were understood. Today, you'll find sloping top tubes in most high-end road race bicycles. We've since stayed true to all the many positives this design brings to overall bike performance and comfort. First, this design allows the top tube to be lower, providing more room for correct positioning and free body movement, enabling more standover clearance, which is particularly useful on dual suspension bikes that have higher bottom brackets. Riders have a more secure riding position, which is especially beneficial when riding downhill sections. Also, the top tube is longer and more compliant. As the top and down tube become more parallel, there's less triangulation, resulting in more compliancy. So not only is the frame stronger and more responsive, but it absorbs more shock than frames with horizontal top tubes. Kona Sizing and Fit Sizing and fit have always been one of the main strengths of the Kona range, with more stock sizes available than any other bike company. With our range of bicycles expanding significantly over the last couple of years, we felt it was time to overhaul our size scale. We started with the overwhelming request for longer top tubes on our XC mountain bikes. The average increase is ½-inch (15-20mm), which we coupled with shorter stems and slightly shorter headset stack heights. The steps between sizes were evened out to ½-inch or 1-inch increments, and there are still up to 7 sizes: from 14-inch to 22-inch on many models. In the asphalt range, top tube lengths were marginally lengthened, with the size gaps revised to even 15 to 20mm steps. There are still up to 6 sizes" from 46cm to 61cm on most models. When it's called for, seat posts are either offset or straight to maximize the reach and power output of the rider. More importantly, the overall sizing on mountain bikes and road bikes allow Kona dealers and riders to determine their fit more easily from model to model and category to category. The net result is better fit on the entire range, with a simplified system that allows easy fine-tuning and a perfect marriage of bike and rider throughout our entire 2011 range.
