"Kona is certainly no stranger to unique and weird bikes. They first introduced the Humu back in 1992. The klunker-style cruiser was originally the brand's bar bike - getting employees around town, while paying homage to the bikes that paved the way. And the Humu definitely does that, but with some updates for those inevitable times when you've gotten a bit over your head."
"Despite the retro look, Kona made this latest Humu a bit more modern. The new Humu features boost spacing and updated geometry inspired by some of Kona's commuter bikes. The Humu is still a classic singlespeed and continues to feature the double-top tube it's known for."
"Diving deeper into the Humu's Artist Edition design, you can't help but notice the paint. Each bike features Alex Heilbron's artwork. Alex is known for her " bold use of repeating patterns that blur the line between hand-made craft and digital code." She is an award-winning artist whose work has been displayed from Los Angeles to Paris."
"The new Kona Humuhumu-nukunuku-a-pua'a, I mean Humu is still a classic butted chromoly steel bike, with a matching chromoly unicrown fork ( not suspension corrected). As you saw in that geo chart, it comes in four sizes (S-XL). But it is a limited editio"
Kona brings back the Humuhumu-nukunuku-a-pua'a, a klunker-style cruiser originally introduced in 1992. The latest Humu keeps its classic single-speed layout and distinctive double-top tube design while updating boost spacing and geometry inspired by Kona commuter bikes. The frame uses classic butted chromoly steel paired with a matching chromoly unicrown fork without suspension correction. The bike is offered in four sizes from S to XL and is produced as a limited edition. The Artist Edition features paintwork by Alex Heilbron, known for repeating patterns that blend hand-made craft and digital code, and she is the daughter of Kona co-founder Jake Heilbron.
