Wasn't it Kona that first introduced the sloping top tube which made most hardtail Konas really recognisable from a distance? (Until everybody and their dog started copying it!) Or am I mistaken? If so, could that bit of info be added? enwiki contributor 16:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

They were certainly very early to it; their 1990 era frames were way ahead of the competition. I have some old photos of my Explosif from that era I should add to the wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by enwiki contributor

That'd be a nice addition if you can source it (WP:RS and all that). The sloping top tube was indeed a signature look for them back in the day. SimEditor09 (talk) 00:55, 29 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
