Kona Lava Dome Review
The Lava Dome offers a great ride, particularly on more questionable mountain trails. Regardless of the thicket ahead, it will get you through. In this, it is a good bargain for the smoothness that it provides. Nonetheless, this is certainly not a light bike – you will need to have some strength to pull it up hills.
This hardtail is a superb bike for having fun on local singletrack trails and for exploring farther into the backcountry routes. It’s engineered to be comfortable, lightweight and dependable, the Lava Dome features a precise and smooth-shifting Microshift Advent 9-speed drivetrain with a clutch rear derailleur as well as reliable Advent shifters and sleek internal cable routing. This version rolls upon 29” wheels that can accept up to a 2.6” tire making it ready for everything in its path. Plus, it’s equipped with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes for exceptional all-weather braking power. Kona 6061 Aluminium Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminum alloys are used extensively throughout their range of mountain and asphalt bicycles. A tough, durable, light alloy, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of our 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, so they can fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application. 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.
