2007 Kona Dawg Primo

Coming in only one solitary notch behind the oooohhh lala Dawg Supreme, our new Dawg Primo can carry it’s own weight when it comes to a high end Back Country bike. There are days when large climbs up mountain passes are quickly followed by steep, nasty, loose descents. The trick is to be stoked with both.

All day epic rides require bikes that can handle everything from descending nasty, loose shale to the effort of a sixty minute singletrack climb. Our Back Country series is a cross breed of sorts, combining the thoroughbred agility of our cross-country race bikes with the increased travel and durability of a Freeride bike. If you want to cover most of your bases with just one bike, these are the bikes.

We have a long-standing history of designing dual suspension cross country bikes for grueling races at some of the sports highest levels. Long standing due to the fact that we decided early on that the most relevant innovations come from the top racing talent in the world. Right now, the Kona / Les Gets Factory Team uses the race proven Kona 4-bar rear suspension for all of their Cross Country Dual Suspension needs.
