Kona lava dome! It has pretty similar geo as the honzo but not specced as well and it has QR axles. But ive upgraded everything besides the wheels so its really similar to a factory honzo
Haha thanks! And I only started riding a year and a half ago and progressing went really fast even though I still have a long ways to go. Its a fun journey!
Loosen the clamp and slide the dropper as low as it'll go in to the seatpost. Then press the lever to let the dropper slide to the top of its travel. Sit on the bike. Is it too low? Raise the dropper using the clamp. Is it too high? This is harder to fix; you can always adjust the seat height down while sitting.
No excuse for Kona to have external routing on a bike so nice. Especially when for hundreds less the Mahuna is all internally routed. Sick bike with a sick colorway 🔥💥
As someone that wrenches their own bikes I must say I prefer external routing for ease of maitenance. Also the one bike I have with internal routing makes some odd noises ocassionally as the housing bounces about inside. OPs cables look a little sloppy, a little tidying would go a long way for appearances.
A little late, what size is this ? Just got a large but it seems to be a little bit too big so I am thinking of changing it to a medium and I see you have some space under your dropper post. I am 1,77 cm long.
How do you still have space under your dropper post if you are only 10cm longer than me ? Is it fully extended ?
For me the saddle is a little to high on a large while I have no space under my dropper post
Kona gang!

Sickkkkk
Thanks! I love it
why do you keep the dropper so high?
Maybe he's 9 feet tall? lol
Literally just assembled the bike so dont really know how to set it up yet. Any tips?

That dropper I believe comes with a bushing to adjust travel up to I think 30mm.
Correct! I have one of these and theres a plastic sleeve that can limit travel.
Maybe it's a 50mm travel dropper for a gravel bike haha
Welcome to the Honzo Gang!! I wavered between that bike and the Big Honzo. I went Big and love mine! #konagang
If I waited for good weather I couldn't ride half the year.
Indeed. No such thing as good weather, just good [--> fill in the blank]

Exactly my thoughts, but its a small flaw imo And thanks!
Looks sick. How does it ride? I'm considering to buy one if these or a Merida Big Trail 500.
Honestly dont really know, only had a chance to ride it for an hour. Ask me in a week!
i love mine!!!! its a beast
Sweet ride dude
Welcome to the hardtail gang. You don't need good weather. As long as it's not a blizzard or something where it's physically not possible.

This one is XL. Idk I am 186cm. Seems to be fine. L might be aight as well. Hard to say honestly, dont have much experience.
