Never say never but I'll eat my hat if a steel Explosif makes an appearance in the next couple of years.

a fella can dream, can’t he?

Would love a “Hei Hei” bit like a Ti Sonder Broken Road.

Would love a “Hei Hei” bit like a Ti Sonder Broken Road.

I am a Kona fan, I've owned a Hei Hei and a 98 Explosif and my kids konas are still hanging up in the garage (97 cindercone 14" and 99 explosif 16") but why not just buy the Sonder ?

Came so very close to doing just that, but if I did, and then Kona did…argh…

Have lovely Konas in the garage, but not one in Ti.

Have just heard the sad news! @thebenjordan hope you and the rest of the team are doing ok. Was wondering if you might be able to offer some advice where you would recommend for a Kona service as I had very much hoped to have your expertise!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Are there any insiders with updates on the Kona situation? I've heard rumors that they still might not make it through the summer, but nothing official or confirmed. Just want facts, I have no desire to spread conspiracies

Are kona still in production..only ask as i was folowing this thread and a mate has asked my opinion on a sutra....well if there's no back up in 12 months......?

Anybody know the current state of play? Stock seems poor (but thats the uk in general on all bikes) and every dealer listed on the kona site for a 200mile radius now kerps nothing except left over kit it seems!

100% alive. Stock is limited but should pick up with the next range launch later this year.
