2007 Kona Kula Deluxe

There are many Cross Country race venues where a hardtail MTB will outperform a dual suspension bike. The Kula series delivers a design that focuses on pure speed and lightweight bikes.

Enter Stage Left..... The best XC hardtail range on the planet... its KONA's Flagship range the KULA....!!

Race XC, Ride XC, Love XC, these bikes can take it all....!! lightwieght Easton Ultralite frame (arguably the best aluminium tubing in the world) Uncompromised Spec (see below) and the ride that KONA is now famous for....

The Kula design has been perfected over the last 20 years with Factory cross country race input. With that many micro adjustments made over the last 20 years, it’s no wonder how this design has not only endured ... but excelled.

A great race bike (or trail bike) with all the best Easton, WTB, RaceFace, Sun, Maxxis, Hayes, Shimano and Rock Shox (WITH LOCK OUT) have to offer... Thats a whole lot of branded componentry on there...!

Racing bikes on the World Cup for just one year puts demands on equipment that most of us can’t muster up in a lifetime. Since our early beginnings, our Cross Country line has been defined (and later refined) by the top racers on the World Cup race circuit. They beat the hell out of things and we stay close by their side and take a lot of notes. The result has been a heritage of refinement that we’re very proud of, and will continue. Like all Kona bikes, we don’t go chasing design theories down rabbit holes. We simply use what works best, for the best racers in the world.
