“Kona Blast” Cedar Park, 2021
At the bike store, I spotted the 2021 version of my year 2000 bicycle. The Blast has been in Kona’s lineup year-after-year as a mid-tier hardtail mountain bike, which I think is amazing. Even 21 years later, the Blast features the Shimano Deore drivetrain! And even the color scheme is similar… orange and black.
I’m not in the market for another bicycle, especially a modern mountain bike, so I wasn’t really tempted to purchase it, but it was cool to see the descendant of Mango!
