Twenty-five years ago, we set out with one guiding principle: create bikes that are fun, durable and affordable. The Tanuki perfectly embodies that ethic, constituting the ultimate entry-level, dual-suspension bike.
Featuring 130mm of travel designed to hit the sweet spot between efficient climbing and confident descending, and a beautifully crafted Kona Race Light 6069 Aluminum frame that will last a lifetime, not to mention an excellent component selection for the money, the Tanuki is converting regular riders into avid cyclists on a daily basis.
Because that's just what mythical Japanese raccoon dogs do.
