Kona LBF - MTB Hardtail

Until now, the Legend of Big Fork sat in that space between myth and possibility. Some treated it as a fun local legend who left traces of big tire prints and slashed foliage; others swear they’d seen it in the wilderness before, and bike nerds in the comment section remained skeptical of its reality.

The LBF has been here the whole time, dwelling in our most memorable underbiked adventures or our daydreams of overforking our gravel bike for that one strange adventure. There’s a new era of drop bar ready to emerge from the depths of the PNW. Some would say it’s already here, but for those who simply don’t believe: we see what we want to see and don’t see what we’re not prepared to see. The question is, are you ready for the power of the LBF myth to give your expedition meaning?

BEYOND LEGEND, FORGED IN STEELThe LBF is the rowdiest drop-bar machine to escape the minds of Kona and the wilderness of the PNW. Turning myth into metal, its built for riders who push drop bars way past their comfort zone. Steel is real again and a 100mm suspension fork tames the rough stu!, while a custom-for-Kona pairing of SRAM Apex Eagle levers and powerful G2 calipers delivers MTB-level braking control— without sacrificing drop-bar comfort Burly Raceface rims wrapped in wider, grippy Maxxis tires keep you planted when the trails turn wild. From chunky backcountry descents to barely-there singletrack, the LBF is ready for the most unhinged adventures only whispered about.
