Kona Bicycles' Parent Company Appoints New CFO, Intends to Sell Brand
Both are innovators. However, the leadership is awful. Leadership, branding, business model, embracing the community etc etc. Yuppies that have never even ridden a bike and self centered mtbers in it to get rich are at fault here. They have no business owning a mtb company.

Kona Bicycles' Parent Company Appoints New CFO, Intends to Sell Brand
When Kona first came out it was ingenius. I had a stinky and it was the first of its kind. Long travel burly bike you can ride on the trails. The company had good riders, marketing, branding and then wtf…??? Some rando water sports outdoor goober company steps in and thinks, “mountain bikes, meh, no problem. Easy.” Everything went to shit. A good, solid company run into the ground by mainstream yacht rock douches. So sadly, this is the result. Hope someone with business sense and knowledge of mountain biking buys the company and builds it up. So let’s throw Otto the waterski packaged goods guy in to fix it. Sorry bro, this isn’t 1985. Nobody waterskis anymore. Sell Kona to someone that knows what they’re doing and actually gives a damn.
