Call it an adventure bike, an off-grid battle cruiser, or proof that the wrong bike can be exactly right. The Unity has cargo to carry and categories to ignore.


Overview

The Unity is a mixed-wheel mountain bike, gravel bike, and rugged bikepacking machine built to carry bigger loads farther off the grid. It’s what happens when Kona’s mountain-bike brain gets a cargo rack, a blank sheet of paper, and very little adult supervision. Its MX setup combines big tires with a lower center of gravity, a stronger rear wheel, and extra clearance for racks and seat bags, while carefully tuned geometry and fork offset keep the handling stable and predictable when fully loaded. A custom integrated front cargo rack and spacious front triangle give your gear plenty of room without turning the ride into a barge.

Features

Durable Cromoly Frame
The steel frame offers a smooth ride with the strength to handle rough roads, trail use, and loaded miles.

Reliable Cromoly Fork

Mixed-Wheel Design
A 29″ front wheel and 27.5″ rear blend stable rollover up front with a more compact, responsive rear end.

High-Volume 3.0″ Tires

Shimano XT 1×11 Drivetrain
Wide-range gearing and dependable shifting make it easier to climb steep pitches and keep the setup straightforward.

Powerful 4-Piston Brakes
Tektro Gemini brakes with 203mm rotors front and rear deliver strong stopping power and confident control.

Front Rack Included
The Kona Unity front rack comes stock, giving you a sturdy platform for carrying gear right away.
