Who are you then?

Scott Belshaw: “UK sales Manager, I suppose. AKA The Kona Rep. Day to day, I visit bike shops up and down the country and try to convince them to buy Kona bikes, Reverse Components, FAST suspension and We Are One composites. I also attend events and demos at the weekends and generally spread the Kona Groove.”

What size is the bike?

SB: “Large.”

What’s your favourite component?

SB: “The saddle coz it stops the seat post hurting my bum.”

Where does this bike excel?

SB: “Everywhere.”

What’s the next tweak for the bike?

SB: “Think I may go back to clipless pedals or maybe a 27.5 rear wheel..?”

Fork setup?

SB: “The fork had a custom tuned damper for me from FAST Suspension, so it’s middle of the range with adjustments.”

Shock setup?

SB: “The shock is also custom tuned from FAST for me, so again it’s middle of the range on the adjustments.”

How is the suspension set-up generally?

SB: “30% sag.”

What do you think it weighs?

SB: “I think it weighs about 15.3kg.”
