'''Kona Bikes''' is a [[bicycle]] company based in the [[Pacific Northwest]]. The company was founded in 1988 by Dan Gerhard, Jacob Heilbron and Jimbo Holmstrom in Vancouver, BC.

Gerhard and Heilbron worked initially with [[Mountain Bike Hall of Fame]] rider [[Joe Murray (cyclist)|Joe Murray]] to create a range of custom steel hardtails. Kona was the first brand to produce a complete range of sloping top tube design mountain bike frames.
Initially the company marketed bicycles under the brand name "Cascade", but had to change the name after a trademark dispute. Kona was the second choice, and is used to this day. Names of the bicycles started out with [[Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] and [[volcanic]] names like the Cinder Cone, Explosif, Hei Hei (Hawaiian for "race"), Hahannah (Hawaiian for "hot"), Fire Mountain, Hot, Lava Dome and Kilauea (released in 1993 and named after the Hawaiian volcano). Kona started to use tongue-in-cheek humor in the names. Names like the Stinky and Coiler started to appear. Some of the earliest full suspension bikes were named the Sex One and Sex Two ("Sex" was short for "Suspension EXperience"). Those were dropped after complaints{{Who|date=September 2009}}. When nobody complained about bikes called Stab and Shred, Kona joked that violence was more acceptable than sex{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}.
[[Paul Brodie (businessman)|Paul Brodie]] collaborated with the TBG and was likely instrumental in implementing the sloping top tube design from previous work with Rocky Mountain and with his own company.
The Canadian headquarters are located near the famous [[North Shore Mountains]] of Vancouver, leading Kona to develop a range of [[Freeride (mountain biking)|Freeride]] mountain bikes in 1998 known for durability as well as for their ability to handle extremely technical downhill terrain. In the 1990s, provocative names were used on Kona bikes and components like Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, Sutra, Sex One, Sex Too, Stinky, Jackshit,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.theproscloset.com/blogs/news/the-best-bike-names | title= The Best Bike Names| date= 5 November 2019}}</ref> while there are rumors about one of their early logos being inspired by an anus,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.goclipless.com/2007/01/cycling_logos.html#comment-6a00d83451b7e469e20168ebe0d06f970c | title= 8 great cycling logos}}</ref> aiming to be placed as an "alternative" bicycle company or as the "smallest biggest company in the world".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://nsmb.com/articles/the-smallest-biggest-bike-company-in-the-world/ | title= the smallest biggest company in the world}}</ref>


Kona has gone on to develop a complete range of road, commuter, [[cyclo-cross]] in addition to a complete range of [[mountain bikes]]. Using a range of materials including [[carbon fiber]], [[titanium]], [[aluminum]] and [[steel]], Kona's bikes are sold in over 60 countries worldwide.
The company was founded in 1988 by Jacob Heilbron, Dan Gerhard and early MTB champion [[Joe Murray (cyclist)|Joe Murray]], who has since moved to Voodoo Bikes. Heilbron and Gerhard still own and run the company.


On January 19, 2022, the founders announced the sale of the company to diversified outdoor equipment maker Kent Outdoors. On April 19, 2024, Kent Outdoors began winding down operations with plans to sell the brand.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://road.cc/content/news/kona-bicycles-winding-down-and-sale-307945 |title=Kona Bicycles winding down and up for sale as parent company abandons struggling bike market |first1=Ryan |last1=Mallon |date=2024-04-21 |website=road.cc}}</ref>

Kona's Jake the Snake model won the US [[cyclo-cross]] championship under riders such as Anne Knapp and [[Ryan Trebon]], and the Canadian championship under Wendy Simms. The team model has [[Shimano]] Dura Ace groupset while the retail has [[Shimano]] 105.

Kona full-suspension bicycles have used the linkage driven single pivot suspension with low main pivot location system since 1999, identified by swingarms attached to the seat tube to activate the rear suspension, inverting forces generated by the swing of the chain stay.

Kona has been developing partnerships with bike parks, primarily with [[Whistler Blackcomb]] Bike Park, in [[Whistler, British Columbia]], Canada, where riders can rent versions of the Stinky. Other partner bike parks are in Austria, Czech republic and Italy.

The Kona/IMBA bowling party, held at Interbike from 1998 until 2007, raised money for NEMBA, a New England IMBA-related advocacy group. Its purpose was to help purchase a large area for mountain biking by funding the KONA/IMBA freeride grants. The Kona/IMBA Freeride grants helped clubs throughout the US and Canada including:[[Rapid City, South Dakota]]; [[Grand Junction, Colorado]]; [[Hood River, Oregon]]; [[Coquitlam, British Columbia]]; [[St. Charles, Missouri]]; [[Surrey, British Columbia]]; [[Anderson, Indiana]], and [[East Burke, Vermont]]. The grants helped build freeride features on trails, as well as building dirt jump parks in parks.

In 2006, Kona began its largest advocacy effort to date - BikeTown Africa. The Kona Africabike was a bike built in partnership with Bristol-Myers Squibb and Bicycling Magazine. The Kona Africabike was designed specifically to assist health care workers treating HIV and AIDS patients with the delivery of home health aids and other services in African Cities, starting with Bobonong, Botswana and Gaborone, Botswana. More recent projects have included Delft and Stellenbosch.

For 2008, Kona pledged to donate 1,000 Africabikes for the project and due to the overwhelming customer support of this project, Kona set up a non-profit/humanitarian organization from their European HQ in Geneva, Switzerland called Kona Basic Needs. This organisation's aim is to continue to raise more funds and awareness of the Kona Africabike program and to continue the donation of these bikes. [citation needed].
