KAHUNA components
Fork
The RockShox is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
The KAHUNA 2015 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Kona KAHUNA has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
