The Unit X from Kona is a versatile, agile and stylish hardtail that’s ideal for riding anywhere on the mountainside. It features a Reynolds 520 Chromoly (CrMo) frame, a SRAM SX Eagle 12-Speed drivetrain, SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes and large, fast-rolling and high grip 29×2.6″ wheels and tyres. Stylish, Stable and Ultra-Efficient Hardtail MTB This stylish hardtail MTB rolls upon 29” WTB Boost spaced wheels wrapped in WTB Ranger tyres, giving you fast-rolling speed, grip and dependable performance in all weather and terrain conditions. The Kona Unit X is a viable all-around ride that’s ideal for any adventure, along any trail, anywhere on Earth. Reynolds 520 Chromoly: Reynolds 520 tubes are mandrel-butted for accurate profiles and available in a wide range of shapes. Weight savings from butting provides competitively priced, light framesets that are noticeably compliant on the road or the trail and are guaranteed to last a lifetime. 44mm Oversized Headtube: By using a 44mm oversized headtube, Kona is able to run tapered steerer forks while using a large external lower cup headset bearing. The larger diameter steerer tube adds considerable stiffness and will increase responsiveness to the front end, improving all-around performance. 12mm Thru Axles: 12x142mm, 12×148 and 12×157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. For 2017, you’ll see the 12×148 Boost standard in the mix. Boost spacing provides more tyre clearance at the chainstay yoke, while the rear wheel is stiffer and more durable relative to a 12×142 thru-axle. Tubeless Compatible Rims: Tubeless rims allow for tyres with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tyre pressure, which provides better tyre grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tyre systems.
