Kona Lana'i (2014)

In the pioneering days of off-road racing, mountain-bike legend Joe Murray won a bunch of races for Kona on a bike that looks and rides a lot like the modern-day Lana’i. That tradition still lives in one of our longest-standing models. With perfect XC geometry, a lifetime warranty, and components that find that sweet balance between performance and price, the Lana’i is the ideal bike for those wanting to dive into the big, wide world of mountain biking. For those of smaller stature and new this year, the Lana’i is available in a 13-inch size.
