Description		Kona's Lava Dome offers a lot of performance for the money. This bike is perfect for someone who wants to try out trail riding but doesn't have a big budget. The Lava Dome features a lightweight, tough aluminum frame and a Suntour fork to soften the bumps. SRAM components make up the drivetrain, and parts from Alex, Vittoria, Wellgo, and Kona round out the spec. Tektro's powerful hydraulic discs take care of braking.

Features	ST3 When we first started building bikes it quickly became apparent that traditional frame geometry wasn't going to cut it on the steep descents and tight turning singletrack of southern British Columbia. To help tame this rugged landscape we developed ST3 Geometry - or Sloping Top Tube Technology. A sloping top tube means increased frame stiffness and strength, and when things aren't going so well, more stand over height for crucial dismounting ease. The frame layout creates a compact front end, giving increased agility in tight turning singletrack while providing increased stiffness for greater control in all conditions. It's also bomber construction: with a greater separation between the top tube/seat tube and seat tube/seat stay welds, frame stress is distributed over a larger area of the seat tube. Originated by Rocky Mountain and copied by others, ST3 delivers a better handling, stronger frame - the ride of a lifetime.	- Kona 6061 Aluminum Butted frame - Suntour XCT 29er fork with 100mm travel - Tektro HDC300 hydraulic disc brakes - SRAM X4 drivetrain - Vittoria Saguaro 29x2.2" tires
