Hi Guys, The Kahuna and Big Kahuna share the same hydro-formed 7000 series frame but the Big Kahuna has a better spec.

Kahuna 2-9 http://www.konaworld.com/images/bikes/med/kahuna.jpg

Hi Philip.Maree, The frame only prices and availability for the 2011 range haven't been released yet, but it looks like just about all models will be available as frame sets. I have the 2010 Kahuna/Big Kahuna fame in stock in 18" at the mo' and a complete bike at the office if you want to take a look. The one you are thinking of is the King Kahuna which was a little lighter being made of Scandium, same hydroformed tubing shapes and post mount rear disc brakes etc as the Kauhuna/Big Kahuna. For some reason it's not available in the 2011 range, I did double check. The 2011 Big Kahuna will be under R18,000.00 complete and we should be able to have it in stock at the end of December/Early January, may be a bit sooner! Let me know if you want one! http://www.konaworld.com/images/bikes/med/big_kahuna.jpg

Hi Guys, Just a reminder that the 2011 Kona range is now live at http://www.konaworld.com let me know what you think, PM with any questions etc! Not everything is available right away, but some bikes are available from next month so we can get much of the range in very soon! I'll be able to confirm prices very soon, I'm just checking shipping etc to make sure we are right because the prices look very good... Like they say on the website: "Lighter, faster, better spec and more bang for the buck..."

At today's exchange rates: Supreme Operator R54,798.51 (RRP) Operator R24,021.96 (RRP) Operator FR R23,063.91 (RRP) We will do our best to beat these prices.

New website goes live Monday August 9th

Hi Capricorn, Go to the Store tab on the top right at the site below, the 2011 site is not open for public viewing yet, I have asked when it will be. I should know tonight, so many, many nice bikes there! http://www.konaworld.com/

Hi Scotty, Yes, there will be 20 and 22" 29ers, looks like complete bikes first and then framesets will be available.

The Operator for example is going to be available in three levels from Freeride through to DH Race Ready. The Stinky and Bass jump/freestyle are back, better than ever. As soon as the new website is open to the public I'll let you know - tell us what you want and we will get it in!

Carbon 26er frame 1090 grams, yes there are lighter ones now but this has Kona's life time warantee...

The Kona 2011 range will be officially revealed soon, there are some fantastic new models and some great updates to existing ones! There is some info out on the web about the Operator DH and a few other models, as soon as we have the go ahead I'll let you know about the others!

Drop me a PM and I'll email you a bunch of John Cobb's aero docs about 2.7mb zipped John Cobb has worked with Hed, Trek (Armstrong etc.) Javlin, Softride, Wilier etc.
