KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

1. The variable conditions and hazards of off-road riding
require close attention and specic skills. Start slowly on
easier terrain and build up your skills. If your bike has
suspension, the increased speed you may develop also
increases your risk of losing control and falling. Get to
know how to handle your bike safely before trying
increased speed or more difcult terrain.
2. Wear safety gear appropriate to the kind of riding you
plan to do.
3. Don’t ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding
with others, make sure that someone knows where you’re
going and when you expect to be back.
4. Always take along some kind of identication, so that
people know who you are in case of an accident; and take
along some cash for food, a cool drink or an emergency
phone call.
5. Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in
a way that does not frighten or endanger them, and give
them enough room so that their unexpected moves don’t
endanger you.
6. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you’re
riding off-road, help may not be close.
7. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt riding or race
with your bike, read and understand Section 2.F.
Off Road Respect
Obey the local laws regulating where and how you can
ride off-road, and respect private property. You may be
sharing the trail with others — hikers, equestrians, other
cyclists. Respect their rights. Stay on the designated
trail. Don’t contribute to erosion by riding in mud or with
unnecessary sliding. Don’t disturb the ecosystem by
cutting your own trail or shortcut through vegetation or
streams. It is your responsibility to minimize your impact
on the environment. Leave things as you found them;
and always take out everything you brought in.
D) WET WEATHER RIDING
WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking
and visibility, both for the bicyclist and for other
vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is
dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes
(as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road)
is dramatically reduced and your tires don’t grip nearly
as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier
to lose control. To make sure that you can slow down and
stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly and apply
your brakes earlier and more gradually than you would
under normal, dry conditions [see also Section 4.C].
E) NIGHT RIDING
Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than
riding during the day. A bicyclist is very difcult for
motorists and pedestrians to see. Therefore, children
should never ride at dawn, at dusk or at night. Adults
who chose to accept the greatly increased risk of riding
at dawn, at dusk or at night need to take extra care both
riding and choosing specialized equipment which helps
reduce that risk. Consult your dealer about night riding
safety equipment.
WARNING: Reectors are not a substitute for
required lights. Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night or
at other times of poor visibility without an adequate
bicycle lighting system and without reectors is
dangerous and may result in serious injury or death.
