Beyond legend, forged in steel, The LBF is the rowdiest drop-bar machine to escape the minds of Kona and the wilderness of the PNW.

Turning myth into metal, it's built for riders who push drop bars way past their comfort zone and aren't afraid to get weird with it. Steel is real again, and this beast means business. A 100mm suspension fork soaks up the gnarliest terrain, 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. Translation: you get the stopping power of a mountain bike with the speed and style of a road machine. Burly Raceface rims wrapped in wider, grippy Maxxis tires keep you planted when the trails turn wild and unpredictable. Whether you're bombing chunky backcountry descents, threading barely-there singletrack, or discovering lines that shouldn't exist, the LBF laughs in the face of "normal." This is the bike for the unhinged. The dreamers. The ones who look at a drop bar and think, "Yeah, but what if we took it *there*?" From alpine adventures to forgotten forest roads, the LBF is ready for the most legendary missions only whispered about in bike shop corners.
