Kona Unit (2017)

Simplicity, reliability, capability. These elements are the bones and muscle that make up Kona’s Unit, with classic Kona fun at its heart. Using Reynolds chromoly tubing, a 44mm head tube, and sliding dropouts the frame delivers a lifetime of versatile, smile-driving service. With 27.5 x 2.8 tires, it offers a smooth ride, great soft-surface flotation, and tons of traction—just what your bikepacking dreams call for. Sticking with Kona's penchant for versatility, the Unit will happily take your favorite 29er wheels when you want to roll big and fast. Kona outfitted the Unit with a straight-up single-speed drivetrain and TRP mechanical disc brakes so your rig can be easily serviced in the middle of nowhere. Kona cockpit components are comfortable and ready for anything you care to endeavor, from local trail hot laps to multi-day bikepacking forays into parts unknown.
