KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
1
THANK YOU for buying a Kona. A bicycle is a wonderful
tool for transportation and recreation. We hope that you
will ride it often and have a great deal of use and enjoy-
ment from your purchase. This manual contains important
safety, performance and maintenance information.
IMPORTANT: Read this manual before taking your rst
ride on your new bicycle, and keep this manual handy
for future reference.
NOTE: This manual is not intended as a comprehensive
use, service repair or service manual. Please see your
dealer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your dealer
may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books
on bicycle use, service or maintenance.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL: This owner’s manual was prepared
with your safety as our rst consideration. A great deal
of the text was prepared by a group of US-based bicycle
manufacturers and distributors. Those sections are copy-
righted by Kona Bicycle Company and the other companies
using the same text, and may not be reproduced without
the written consent of Kona Bicycle Company.
In addition to safety, many bicycle manufacturers and dis-
tributors are concerned with the alarming number of product
liability cases brought forwards over the last 5 years. Because
American and Canadian attorneys are entitled to mount these
cases on a contingency basis, many larger manufacturers
and distributors have been marked as deep pocket targets for
what in many cases, turn out to have been the responsibility
of the bicycle rider. Even the most frivolous cases are costly
to the manufacturer and distributor, which additionally result
in higher insurance premiums, and eventually, higher bicycle
prices. The Consumer Product and Safety Commission has
undertaken a variety of studies that nd that, for the most
part, bicycles are well-made and safe vehicles.
These studies conclude that many serious and minor ac-
cidents could be prevented by the use of helmets. It should
also be noted that ACCIDENTS CAN ALSO BE PREVENTED
BY PROPER INSTRUCTION OF BICYCLE USE AND MAINTE-
NANCE. Your Kona dealer will provide you with basic instruc-
tions to get you safely started. In addition, we strongly
recommend that YOU READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL PAYING
PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
So hang in there while you wade through the legalese.
Yes we are trying to protect ourselves against unreasonable
lawsuits, but we are concerned about your safety. A proper-
ly tuned and well-maintained bike keeps all parties happy...
and parties, most happily.
Kona was started in the Pacic Northwest in 1988 by a
group of cyclists dedicated to producing high-quality custom
bicycles. With muddy, rooty, slippery temperate rainforest
slopes as our backdrop, we prioritize durable, quality product
designed to withstand seasons of demanding use through
incessant rain and punishing terrain. You can nd mem-
bers of Kona’s product design group evaluating new frames,
suspension, and components on our nearby trails, ensuring
the same 1988 founding sentiment rings true today: quality
product, constant improvement, durable bikes.
As a result, we welcome your feedback. Improvement is a
two-way street. If for any reason you’re not satised with
your bike, the service you were given, or anything at all
(including but not limited to: prematurely soggy Rice Krisp-
ies, slow Internet, incessantly barking hound dogs… we’re
kidding – but not about your satisfaction and our quest for
betterment) please let us know. And of course, thank you
for joining the Kona family—we deeply appreciate your sup-
port and value your feedback.
