We just received our 2012 KONA Big Kahuna's.  This is one sharp looking bike and the folks at KONA absolutely nailed the component spec. If you are looking for a do anything, go anywhere hardtail for your back country adventures this bike will carry you on the long sweet ride.

If you are looking for a bike that is ready to race out of the box then this could be your bike as well.  The mix of SRAM componentry, Easton XC wheels and Rock Shox Reba fork will keep this bike light, fast and durable.  The frame features super clean rear dropouts that house the 142x12 thru axle and direct mount brake posts.  The Reba up front compliments the rear with a 15mm thru axle.  The bikes are here and ready to ride.
