Introducing our 2012 Kona ":Jake the Snake" test bike. This is one of those bikes that should carry a sticker that says, "Warning, May Be Addictive". It's a cyclocross bike, so of course it's perfect for the most fun cycle race discipline, but it's also a kick-ass fast gravel tourer, tough as nails trainer or commuter (even has rack mounts), or just the most fun you can have with your pants on.

Come try, find out why CX is the fastest growing discipline in the world and why both Dave and I predominantly use CX bikes for getting around the 'Vale.

Here's Kona's take on the 2012 edition:

It is one of the most diverse cyclocross bikes ever. It can race, commute, train, tour or just plain ride. We've seen Jake The Snakes cross Africa, win cyclocross races and battle through downtown rain. This year, our classic Kona model takes on more of a racing aesthetic, sharing the same frame features and race-winning geometry as our Major Jake, as well as some bling-factor specs, like new Avid Shorty 6 brakes.

Get on it...
