KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill
CONDITION 5 Bikes designed for
jumping, hucking, high speeds, or
aggressive riding on rougher surfaces,
or landing on at surfaces. However,
this type of riding is extremely hazardous
and puts unpredictable forces on a bicycle
which may overload the frame, fork, or
parts. If you choose to ride in Condition
5 terrain, you should take appropriate safety precautions
such as more frequent bike inspections and replacement
of equipment. You should also wear comprehensive
safety equipment such as a full-face helmet, pads, and
body armor.
INTENDED For riding that includes the most difcult
terrain that only very skilled riders should attempt.
Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill are terms which describe
hardcore mountain, north shore, slopestyle. This is
“extreme” riding and the terms describing it are constantly
evolving. Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill bikes are:
(1) heavier and have more suspension travel than
All-Mountain bikes, allowing them to be ridden in more
difcult terrain, over larger obstacles and larger jumps,
(2) the longest in suspension travel and use components
that t heavy duty intended use. While all that is true,
there is no guarantee that extreme riding will not break
a Freeride bike. The terrain and type of riding that
Freeride bikes are designed for is inherently dangerous.
Appropriate equipment, such as a Freeride bike, does not
change this reality. In this kind of riding, bad judgment,
bad luck, or riding beyond your capabilities can easily
result in an accident, where you could be seriously injured,
paralyzed or killed.
NOT INTENDED To be an excuse to try anything.
Read Section 2. F, p. 10.
All Mountain
CONDITION 4 Bikes designed for riding
Conditions 1, 2, and 3, plus rough techni-
cal areas, moderately sized obstacles, and
small jumps.
INTENDED For trail and uphill riding.
All-Mountain bicycles are: (1) more
heavy duty than cross country bikes,
but less heavy duty than Freeride bikes,
(2) lighter and more nimble than Freeride bikes,
(3) heavier and have more suspension travel than a cross
country bike, allowing them to be ridden in more difcult
terrain, over larger obstacles and moderate jumps,
(4) intermediate in suspension travel and use components
that t the intermediate intended use, (5) cover a fairly
wide range of intended use, and within this range are
models that are more or less heavy duty. Talk to your
retailer about your needs and these models.
NOT INTENDED For use in extreme forms of jumping/
riding such as hardcore mountain, Freeriding, Downhill,
North Shore, Dirt Jumping, Hucking etc. No large drop
offs, jumps or launches (wooden structures, dirt embank-
ments) requiring long suspension travel or heavy duty
components; and no spending time in the air landing hard
and hammering through obstacles.
TRADE OFF All-Mountain bikes are more rugged than
cross country bikes, for riding more difcult terrain.
All-Mountain bikes are heavier and harder to ride uphill
than cross country bikes. All-Mountain bikes are lighter,
more nimble and easier to ride uphill than Freeride bikes.
All-Mountain bikes are not as rugged as Freeride bikes
and must not be used for more extreme riding
and terrain.
