Kona Taro (2015)

For those more interested in the nimble nature of aluminum frames, we offer the Taro, the same geo and frame design as the Honzo but with subtly different ride characteristics and a slightly more affordable price. The same aggressive nature exists: a slack 68-degree headtube angle, low bottom bracket and super-short chainstays, with big standover for big confidence. New for this year, the Taro has a Shimano 10-speed drivetrain with Deore Shadow clutch derailleur, smoothing out the chatter of an otherwise rough-and-tumble world.
