Kona Major One Cyclecross Bike 2010
If you thought CX guys weren't eccentric enough, there's also the singlespeed contingent. Oh glorious masochists! Designed for simplicity, durability and function, the Major One caters to those social deviants who have to do it differently. Raceable, commutable, light, fast, and beautiful, you asked for it so we made it. Here at Kona, that's what we do. Bikes for everyone, no matter how weird you may be.• Scandium Tubing: Over the past 10 years Kona has invested heavily in Scandium technology. Known to be one of the lightest and strongest metals in the world, with superior riding characteristics, it's no surprise we use Scandium throughout our entire line of bicycles.
Scandium is a potent grain refiner that, when added to aluminum alloys, elevates the strength and durability of the material by 50%. It accomplishes this by aligning the grains of the alloy, making the metal less susceptible to failure.
First used by the Russians in Cold War missile fins and Mig fighter jets, it's Scandium's strength and durability that makes it so attractive a material when it comes to building bicycles.
Scandium alloy is twice as strong as 6061 or 7005 aluminium, allowing our engineers to use much less material. In turn, the ride characteristics are similar to steel. And we love the compliancy and overall feel of steel. Not to mention, we're shaving weight from our aluminium frames by 10-to-15% .
For 2010 you'll find Scandium throughout our entire line of bikes. Most notably, our Cadabra 100-160mm variable travel backcountry bike uses a Scandium frame, a testament to our commitment and faith in one of the world's most rigorous materials.
• Compact Rear Triangle: Short chain stays and seat stays provide a perfect balance of stability and power transfer when out of the saddle and hammering. Shorter seat stays also have less deflection during braking and accelerate quicker than longer stays. Product Size(s): 54cm
