Kona Explosif Bike 2018Steel is RealKona has a long heritage in steel hardtails. The 2018 Explosif is a direct descendent of Kona's original steel line-up. Steel provides an exceptional ride quality that just can't be achieved with carbon or aluminum. Kona pulled out all the stops to spec the Explosif with a truly elite-level build kit. Smoothing out the trail on the front of the bike is a Rock Shox Revelation RC with 120mm of travel. The Revelation features an air spring which can easily adjust the compression of the fork and a rebound adjuster to control how fast the fork bounces back. Powering the bike is SRAM's GX Eagle drivetrain. The Eagle provides 12 speeds featuring a wide range of gears that will effortlessly take you up climbs and power you down descends. The Explosif rolls on WTB wheels wrapped in Maxxis tires and both are tubeless ready. A tubeless setup allows you to run lower tire pressures to increase traction without running the risk of receiving pinch flats. In the rocky world of mountain biking, tubeless is the way to go. If you are looking for a hardtail to shred at your local trail network, treat yourself to a Kona Explosif. Experience the incredible ride quality of steel and shred with confidence knowing your bike has an elite-level build holding it together.FeaturesReynolds 520 Butted Cromoly frame provides exceptional ride quality27.5" wheels maintain a playful feel on the trailSRAM GX drivetrain provides ultra-wide gear range to tackle every climbSRAM hydraulic brakes offer powerful stopping powerCompact rear triangle provides excellent handling characteristicsSPECIFICATIONSFrameReynolds 520 Butted CromolyForkRockShox Revelation RC Solo Air 120mm Tapered 110mm SpacingHeadsetN/AShiftersSRAM GX-EagleRear DerailleurSRAM GX-EagleCranksetSRAM Descendant 6KBottom BracketSRAMPedalsN/AChainSRAM GX-EagleCassetteSRAM GX-Eagle 10-50t 12spdBrakesSRAM Guide RWheelsetWTB STP i29 TCS, Formula HubsTiresMaxxis Minion DHF EXO TR 3C 27.5x2.3"HandlebarKona XC/BC 35StemKona XC/BC 35GripsKona Key GripSeatpostRockShox Reverb w/Plunger Lever 31.6mmSeatclampKona ClampSaddleWTB Volt Comp (Comp 250 size S)Intended UseTrailWeightN/ANote: Components are subject to change without notice.Geometry and Size GuideMETRICINCHKona Explosif GeoSizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length370420470530B: Effective Top Tube583612640674C: Stack591605614628D: Reach402427452482E: BB Height313313313313F: BB Drop42424242G: Head Tube Length100115125140H: Head Tube Angle67.5 deg67.5 deg67.5 deg67.5 degI: Seat Tube Angle73 deg73 deg73 deg73 degJ: Standover Height705740775815K: Chainstay Length420420420420L: Wheelbase1093112411531188Suggested Rider HeightFrame SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeRider Height5'0" - 5'5" 152-166 cm5'5" - 5'10" 166-178 cm5'9" - 6'2" 175-188 cm6'1" - 6'5" 185-196 cmKona Explosif GeoSizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length14.616.518.520.9B: Effective Top Tube23.024.125.226.5C: Stack23.323.824.224.7D: Reach15.816.817.819.0E: BB Height12.312.312.312.3F: BB Drop1.71.71.71.7G: Head Tube Length3.94.54.95.5H: Head Tube Angle67.5 deg67.5 deg67.5 deg67.5 degI: Seat Tube Angle73.0 deg73.0 deg73.0 deg73.0 degJ: Standover Height27.829.130.532.1K: Chainstay Length16.516.516.516.5L: Wheelbase43.044.345.446.8Suggested Rider HeightFrame SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeRider Height5'0" - 5'5" 152-166 cm5'5" - 5'10" 166-178 cm5'9" - 6'2" 175-188 cm6'1" - 6'5" 185-196 cm
