Overview
About this bike
You might think of Kona's Lava Dome as your SUV of the bicycle world. It's loaded with everything you need for trail or rough city streets. You get a light aluminum frame with a 100mm-travel, bump-erasing suspension fork up front. The legendary Kona ride —playful, confident, and predictable — is yours with the added bonus of 29-inch wheels and versatile tires. Twenty-four speeds give you the range to find your groove, all powered by Shimano for smooth, intuitive shifting. Hydraulic disc brakes keep your speed in check the second you need it, so go ahead, push that envelope. Lava Dome is ready for it.
