Kona Introduces the Wah Wah Platform Pedal

- New Design Raises the Bar for Downhill, Freeride and Dirt Jump Pedals –

Using input from our star riders including John Cowan, Dave Watson and Paul Basagoitia, Kona has improved upon the classic JackShit pedal and is introducing the brand new Wah Wah pedal for 2007. Featuring an ultra low-profile, lightweight design and an MSRP of $79.95, the Wah Wah is sure to become the new standard for downhill, freeride and dirt jump riders everywhere.At 17mm thick and weighing only 478g, the lightweight Wah Wah provides ample clearance to make cornering catch free, and the easily removable pins provide plenty of grip for tricks and high-speed descents.

“We’d always heard from athletes, shops and consumers that although our JackShit Pedals are a tremendous success at a great value, we needed to update the design,” said Kona product designer Robin Sansom. “I collected input from our Clump and Factory Teams, designed the pedal with a minimalist style to shave weight and aid in cornering, strategically placed the pins and came up with the Wah Wah.”

Look for the Wah Wah pedals at your local specialty bicycle retailer this September.
