Kona 36e Mahuna XL mountain bike Purple

Description

Kona 36e Mahuna XL mountain bike Purple is a hardtail MTB built for trail riding, forest paths, and everyday gravel. It’s based on an aluminum frame and an air-sprung suspension fork with 100 mm of travel. The spec targets an affordable performance tier for riders who want a modern 1x drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes.

Frame and geometry

The frame is made from Kona Race Light 6061 Aluminum Butted, combining low weight with sensible stiffness for sporty riding. Tube shaping and butting focus on efficient power transfer whether you’re pedaling seated or out of the saddle. The geometry is designed for off-road control and stability on 29" wheels at higher speeds. The supplied version is size XL, suitable for riders who prefer a longer riding position.

Components

Drivetrain: Shifting is based on a Shimano Deore setup in a 1x11 configuration. The cassette is Shimano Deore or Sunrace 11–51 teeth, and the chain is KMC X11.

Brakes: The bike uses Alhonga HT472 hydraulic disc brakes. The Alhonga rotors measure 180 mm up front and 160 mm at the rear.

Wheels and tires: WTB ST i27 TCS 2.0 rims are paired with Formula 100x9 mm front and Shimano 135x10 mm rear hubs. Maxxis Forekaster 29x2.35" tires support traction on dirt and confidence on gravel.

Cockpit: A Kona XC saddle is paired with a Kona Thumb 31.6 mm seatpost. The headset is Feimen HP-H868B or FSA No.57B-1.

Ride characteristics

The 6061 aluminum-alloy frame feels solid under power and suits riders who want a direct response from the rear end. The RockShox Judy Silver TK Solo Air fork with 100 mm of travel filters impacts on rough surfaces and keeps the front wheel tracking. The combination of 29" wheels and 2.35" tires increases stability on roots and during faster transitions. The cassette range up to 51 teeth helps on long climbs where you’re riding at a lower cadence.

Who it’s for

The Kona 36e Mahuna in size XL suits sport-oriented riders who want a hardtail trail bike for everyday off-road riding. You’ll appreciate it on hilly rides, natural trails, and at marathon pace without the need for rear suspension. In its class, it stands out for the simplicity of the 1x11 drivetrain and the use of 29" wheels with tires suited to mixed conditions.
