01
Origin
The Mahuna fills Kona's entry-level 29er hardtail slot, offering a capable trail platform at an accessible price point. With the same 6061 aluminum frame design philosophy as the Kahuna but a step-down spec list, the Mahuna is aimed at riders entering mountain biking or seeking an affordable but reliable trail bike. It retains the dropper post readiness and bottle cage mounts that make it practical for longer adventures.

The verdict
+Strengths
- Genuine air-sprung RockShox fork at entry-level price is a strong spec highlight
- Dropper post readiness and rack mounts add versatility beyond pure trail use
- Maxxis Forekaster tires are capable trail rubber — no immediate tire upgrade needed
−Weaknesses
- 11-speed drivetrain is now a step behind 12-speed competitors at this price
- Budget hydraulic brakes (Alhonga/MT201) lack the modulation of Shimano's mid-range levers
- 100mm of travel keeps it firmly in XC/light trail territory
