Kona Makena

The Makena is designed for children who are ready for 20-inch wheels, typically ranging from 6 to 9 years old. Because every child grows differently, we recommend checking the standover height against your child's inseam to ensure they can comfortably mount and dismount the bike.

Yes, the 1x drivetrain simplifies the experience by removing the complexity of a front derailleur. With only one shifter to manage, young riders can focus on learning to change gears on the rear cassette without getting confused by multiple levers.

The 2.6-inch tires provide a larger contact patch with the ground, which significantly improves traction and stability. This extra grip helps build confidence for young riders, especially when they are navigating uneven surfaces, gravel, or dirt paths.

No, the frame is constructed from Kona 6061 Aluminum, which is specifically chosen for its balance of durability and low weight. This makes the bike easier for children to maneuver, pick up if it falls, and pedal uphill.

The V-brakes are designed to be responsive and easy to pull, providing reliable stopping power with minimal effort. They are a standard, effective choice for this size of bike, ensuring your child can control their speed safely.
