In 1988, Dan Gerhard and Jacob Heilbron founded Cascade and created their first mountain bikes! But following a dispute over its name, the brand adopted the one we've known ever since: Kona. During the 90s, Kona surrounded itself with mountain bike champions to improve its machines and demonstrate their racing credentials. From Cindy Devine, World Downhill Champion, to Karim Amour and the Graham Agassiz phenomenon, Kona has built a solid reputation in the mountain bike world! Between the Cinder Cone, which has stood the test of time, and the Supreme Operator, which has established itself as the worthy heir to the Stab Supreme - which has been the highlight of the Kona team's career on downhill slopes the world over - the brand draws on its vast experience, acquired over more than 20 years in the business, to innovate. While it has made its mark with mountain bikes renowned for their quality and reliability, today it also offers road bikes and children's bikes which benefit from the same know-how. Kona offers bikes designed by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. At Probikeshop we love them for their durability and innovative features! So it's a no-brainer to bring you this brand, since it's bikes like these that fuel our passion. |
