Kona Fire Mountain (2015)

Buying your first mountain bike is a massive deal. This machine is going to change your life: guaranteed. It’s important then that you make the right decision. Of course, you don’t want your first bike to cost an arm and a leg. You’re not even sure the sport’s right for you. It’s smart then to buy a bike that has 28 years of thinking behind it, incorporating trail geometry born from millions of hours of riding experience. The Fire Mountain, with new 27.5-inch wheels, is the ultimate balance between cost and performance. This won’t be your last mountain bike (although, it could last that long).
