KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
35
There are also bicycles that mix features. For example,
there are road/racing bikes with triple cranks. These bikes
have the low gearing of a touring bike, the quick handling
of a racing bike, but are not well suited for carrying heavy
loads on a tour. For that purpose you want a touring bike.
Within each of type of bicycle, one can optimize for
certain purposes. Visit your bicycle shop and nd
someone with expertise in the area that interests you.
Do your own homework. Seemingly small changes
such as the choice of tires can improve or diminish the
performance of a bicycle for a certain purpose. On the
following pages, we generally outline the intended uses of
various types of bikes.
Industry usage conditions are generalized and evolving.
Consult your dealer about how you intend to use your bike.
General Purpose Riding
CONDITION 2
Bikes designed for riding Condition 1 (on
paved roads only), plus smooth gravel
roads and improved trails with moderate
grades where the tires do not lose ground
contact.
INTENDED For paved roads, gravel or
dirt roads that are in good condition, and
bike paths.
NOT INTENDED For off-road or mountain bike use, or
for any kind of jumping. Some of these bikes have sus-
pension features, but these features are designed to add
comfort, not off-road capability.
Some come with relatively wide tires that are well suited to
gravel or dirt paths. Some come with relatively narrow tires
that are best suited to faster riding on pavement. If you ride
on gravel or dirt paths, carry heavier loads or want more
tire durability talk to your dealer about wider tires.

Cross-Country, Marathon, Hardtails
CONDITION 3
Bikes designed for riding Conditions 1 and
2, plus rough trails, small obstacles, and
smooth technical areas, including areas where
momentary loss of tire contact with the ground
may occur. NOT jumping. All mountain bikes
without rear suspension are Condition 3, and so
are some lightweight rear suspension models.
INTENDED For cross-country riding and racing which ranges
from mild to aggressive over intermediate terrain (e.g., hilly
with small obstacles like roots, rocks, loose surfaces and hard
pack and depressions). Cross-country and marathon equipment
(tires, shocks, frames, drive trains) are light-weight, favoring
nimble speed over brute force. Suspension travel is relatively
short since the bike is intended to move quickly on the ground.
