KONA Unity - Hardtail Mountain Bike

BIKEPACKING HAS EVOLVED and its enthusiasts have cried out—in its echo, a new Kona has burst onto the scene: the Unity. It might be the ultimate utilitarian bike, but it would be rude to put it in just one box. It’s a mountain bike. It’s a gravel bike. It’s a bikepacking mule and a burly beast of burden built to go further, deeper, and more rugged than most bikes dare.

We wanted big tires. And mixed wheels! Trendy? Maybe. But we chose MX because it brings the center of gravity where we want it, makes a stronger rear wheel, and allows for more clearance when it comes to rear racks and seat bags. We wanted BIGGER LOADS, but weren’t willing to sacrifice ride quality. So, we optimized the geometry for riding under load, dialing in fork o!set and handling to stay predictable when you’re fully packed. With a custom integrated cargo rack up front and an oversized front triangle built for max frame bag space, the Unity is ready for your biggest missions.

Whether you’re riding across a mountain range or building an o!-grid battle cruiser, the Unity has your back—and your front.
