Kona

It takes a certain degree of cojones for a bike maker to adorn its creations with names like Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, Stinky, and Sex. It is this very instict for going against the norm that has enabled Kona (founded in 1988 and based in Washington and British Columbia) to assemble a truly diverse, enthusiast-focused line of bikes, with nearly 80 unique models in their catalog.
