Kona Jake Review

Road bikes have the tendency to need to be jack of all trades. This is because there are expected to withstand well to several types of terrain. After all, it can be difficult just what you will come up against on your daily commute. However, taking Kona’s reputation with bikes in other categories into consideration, we had a good feeling about the Jake.

This bike is surprisingly light which is definitely something to look forward to with a road bike. Pushing against a heavy frame can get tiring after a while and with a commute bike you need that mileage.

We started off the Jake nice and easy, hitting up city streets. This bike flew offering up an incredibly smooth ride. The steering was also great, allowing us to direct the bike with ease. Elated with this success, we decided to head to hillier pastures. After all, this bike had a considerable number of gears to help us feel confident about our upcoming journey.

True to form, the Jake did hold. Not only did it tackle the inclines without a problem, it was also a comfortable ride! We did not even feel any of the bumps. Another thing we wanted to talk about were the fender and rack mounts. We did use them at one point, however, it was on the road. Even with a little added weight, the Kona still performs incredibly well.

Overall, we had to say that we were quite pleased with the Kona Jake’s performance. What makes this bike even better is the price tag. It is not cheap but the experience it provides, you really cannot complain. This is a really great all-terrain bike to have around. You certainly will not be disappointed.
