The LBF is the rowdiest drop-bar machine to escape the minds of Kona and the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Built for riders who push drop bars way past their comfort zone, it turns the idea of a gravel bike on its head — steel frame, suspension fork and proper mountain-bike tyres, ready for terrain most drop-bar bikes wouldn't dare.

The Reynolds 520 butted Cromoly frame brings that famously smooth, tough steel ride, while a 100mm RockShox SID suspension fork takes the sting out of rough, chundery descents. A custom-for-Kona pairing of SRAM Apex Eagle levers with powerful G2 four-piston calipers delivers genuine MTB-level braking control without giving up drop-bar comfort — a rare and welcome combination on a bike like this.

Burly RaceFace rims wrapped in wide, grippy Maxxis tyres keep you planted when the trail turns wild, and a SRAM 1x12 drivetrain with a huge 10-52t range gives the gearing to winch up anything and spin out on the flats. A TranzX dropper post lets you get low and confident when it points downhill. From chunky backcountry descents to barely-there singletrack, the LBF is ready for the most unhinged adventures.
