SHRED
We’ve taken something so inherently simple and made it so versatile that it can only be a Kona. The Unit’s Cromoly Reynolds frame and single-speed sensibilities are a minimalist’s dream, but we wanted to take them farther. The frame and fork clearance are modified for 27.5-inch x 3.0-inch wheels for the bike packer we all want to be, while a simple swap of wheels ensures a 29-inch exploit can be had. This kind of interchangeability and utility makes the Unit the perfect choose-your-own-adventure bike.
