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. Steel is real again and a 100mm suspension fork tames the rough stuff, 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. Burly Raceface rims wrapped in wider, grippy Maxxis tires keep you planted when the trails turn wild. From chunky backcountry descents to barely-there singletrack, the LBF is ready for the most unhinged adventures only whispered about.
