KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

Mountain bike/Mountain bike full suspension: Due to

a preference for low-slung frames and adequate seatpost

insertion for long-travel seatpost droppers, standover

height is not the best way to measure frame t. Instead,

for a given size, ensure that:

1. You have appropriate leg extension when the dropper

seatpost is fully extended.

• If not, you may be on too large of a frame, or you may

need to reduce your dropper seatpost travel. Be sure to

have your bicycle dealer help you with this.

2. The reach measurement is appropriate. Reach (shown

in the diagram below) is the distance from your bottom

bracket, forward to your headtube. It can affect the

stability of a bicycle, your weight over the front wheel

and a rider’s sense of control. It is important that you

are neither too stretched out, nor too tightly positioned

and scrunched when seated with the dropper seatpost

fully extended and your hands grasping the handlebars.

Please work with your bicycle dealer to ensure your reach

measurement is appropriate.

3. Handlebar height and stack. As frame sizes become

larger for full-suspension bikes, the headtube length

grows, raising your handlebar height. Too high of a

handlebar height may not place enough weight on the

front wheel, creating a dangerous situation where the

front wheel can easily wash out beneath a rider, causing

the rider to lose control and potentially crash. Too low

of a handlebar can place the rider with too much weight

on the front wheel and too far over the front wheel,

increasing the risk of falling over the handlebars. Be sure

to check with your bicycle dealer that your handlebars are

the appropriate height for you, and that the position is

comfortable for you.

Step-through frames: Just like full-suspension

mountain bikes, standover height does not apply to step-

through frames. Instead, make sure that you are able to

attain appropriate leg extension with your saddle raised

to a position that does not exceed the minimum insertion

requirement on the seatpost. Also, make sure that you

are in a comfortable riding position when seated with your

saddle at the correct height: you are neither too close,

nor too far from the handlebars.

B) SADDLE POSITION

Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in

getting the most performance and comfort from your

bicycle. If the saddle position is not comfortable for you,

see your dealer, who has the tools and skill to change it.

The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
