It should come as no surprise we have hippies working at Kona. Besides smelling of moss and looking like Jesus, they also want super utility bikes in a deluxe package, ones that can groove through Mother Earth's cornucopia of adverse conditions: all the mud, rain and muck that comes with riding everywhere every day. So, we give this fender-ready, utilitarian-oriented road ride high-end disc brakes, just so hippies everywhere can stop to smell the flowers.
