Kona Race Light 7005 aluminium butted
Kona Race Light 7005 is a lighter, more performance-oriented fabrication of Kona's 7005 tubing. Designed to meet the company's discerning race specifications, Race Light 7005 is custom butted to create thicker tubes at weld areas and important parts of the frame, providing incredible strength and torsional integrity to the feel of the ride. Kona has removed wall thickness in other parts of the frameset to lighten up the bike, giving the perfect balance between speed and stiffness.
Internal headset
Bearing cups are pressed into the frame and are easily removable. An internal headset also reduces stack height, so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable, giving the rider the best fit possible.
Tapered head tube
More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset and eliminating brake shudder, while providing confident steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup – maximising bearing durability where it’s needed.
Tubeless rims
Tubeless rims allow for tyes with more puncture resistance and offer the ability to run lower tyre pressure – which provides better grip on the trail – lower rolling resistance, and save weight over traditional tube and tyre systems.
