STEELY
2012 / GRAVITY / HARDTAIL
At Kona we’ve always had a deep affinity for the incredible ride performance of steel. Using geometry honed after two decades of serious steel affection, Kona is entering its second year producing the Steely. Best summarized as the classic 26-inch-wheel steel hardtail built for the modern rider, the Steely is a throwback to wheely-dropping, gnar-loving freeriders of the late 90s. Modern meaning, a slack headtube angle, low bottom bracket and short chainstays. The Steely also features a 31.6 seat tube, ISCG 05 tabs, lighter rims and tires, and a single ring Shimano 9-speed with 11-36 rear cassette. Everything you need to rip a piece of radical singletrack near you.
