PhD

Just what the doctor ordered? Sure, it might sound a little hokey, but when we combined road-bike-like speed with the comfort of a city hybrid, even we were surprised. The PhD might be the best prescription for having fun while finding your fitness.

FEATURES

KONA SUPERLIGHT 7046 ALUMINUM

A new material for Kona, and featured throughout some of our road- and mountain-bike platforms, Kona SuperLight 7046 has more titanium in its composition, giving it 25 percent improved hardness and tensile strength, as well as greater fatigue resistance. Superlight 7046 has properties that allow for the thinnest possible wall thickness, thereby reducing overall weight and making it extremely light and responsive, without sacrificing durability.

INTEGRATED HEADSET

Integrated headsets are simple, light and effective headset systems whereby the bearing race cups are actually part of the head tube, and they are either machined away and left with the head tube, bonded (carbon), or welded in with steel or alloy. Like an internal headset, an integrated 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 itself 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—maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed.

12x142mm AXLE

12x142mm, 12x148 and 12x157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. For 2017, you’ll see the 12x148 Boost standard in the mix. Boost spacing provides more tire clearance at the chainstay yoke, while the rear wheel is stiffer and more durable relative to a 12x142 thru-axle.
