However, for those who prefer simplicity and durability above all else, the Kona Unit is the bike to go with.
The Unit's 29" wheels provide it with greater stability, a smoother ride, improved cornering and float and superior momentum compared to typical 26" wheeled bikes. Its single speed design also provides the Unit with some unique advantages over typical modern gear styles, like a more durable gear system that requires less maintenance and is less likely to have its chain fall loose. Additionally, the Unit's steel frame composition ensures that it will last for years to come.
