Press ReleaseKona Bikes: Finding RemoteYour escape. Your secret stash. Your remote. The place you long to be all week, and can't wait to head out to, even if just for the day. The
Kona Remote is the bike to get you there.
What exactly is remote? Well that's really up to you. For Kona Gravity team rider Graham Agassiz and Kona Canada's resident fishing enthusiast Matt Stevens, that thing is fly fishing. So, they made a plan, packed up their Remotes, and converged in Lytton, British Columbia to head to their own secret stash. Prepped with fishing and camping gear, Matt’s fishing kayak, and Aggy’s dog Autumn, they headed straight for the goods.
Find Your RemoteWhether you're a fisherman, an outdoorsman, or a recreational enthusiast, the Remote can take you where you want to go and get you there quickly. It's a capable mountain bike with Bosch's top end Performance Line CX pedal assist system. We equipped the Remote with Bosch's compact Intuvia display, high capacity 500 watt Power Pack, and a re-keyable Abus Plus battery lock.
With the made-in-the-USA Old Man Mountain rack, you can add accessories to carry just about anything you can think of. The wide range SRAM 1x11 drivetrain and Level T brakes ensure you'll be happy going both uphill or down. The Remote is an access tool, adaptable to your needs. Swing a leg over one, and find your remote.
The Remote is one of three Bosch-equipped pedal assist bikes in the Kona lineup this year. Get the details on the Remote from Kona Product Manager Trevor Porter:

Anyway, to me a bike is something simple, something mechanical, something you can fix with few tools and power with your muscles (and use trouts as batteries for your muscles). For carrying boats you could simply use a quad ...
My friend and roadie badass back in the day might disagree. He mounted solar panels to make a roof on his bike trailer. Charging 2 batteries while using the third. He toured around the USA for months carrying the tent and other gear in the trailer.
I think e-bikes as a regular trail/enduro bike are an absolute waste of time (I know the market is there but I sure as hell don't agree with it!), so to see a company place emphasis on bike-packing is actually really cool.
(*Fly rod, flies, Blackburn bags, kayak, Suunto watch, Tacoma, tent, dog, and film crew not included.)
All set up and paid for. Not even an erection.
I would but I already did when I saw the new Specialized dropper post...
Enviro degrowthers can claim benefits of reduced Noise pollution and that's really about it.
i think that's the first time this happened for me here on PB.
also can someone explain to an asian guy why white people go fishing then release what they catch. don't you guys like to eat freshly caught fish?
Maybe someone can explain why so many in asia catch dozens of fish, eat a few while they're fresh then bin the rest? I've seen this countless times
i grew up outside the city, i remember when we were little we would go out fishing to pass time, if ever we caught more than what we can eat for supper we would give it to our relatives or neighbors.
I does look like Aggie will be getting fatter! That's my look into the cristal ball.
Thought it was a joke. the jokes on me.
by the way, don't necessarily hate e-mtbs, just no added value in aggy doin that shit.
