Kona Splice-E

The Splice-E is back and better than ever. A redesigned frame holds a semi-integrated battery for a Shimano E6100 motor. The display provides an easy-to-read screen with simple controls. The Splice-E is one smooth ride thanks to its Suntour NCX D LO fork with 63mm of travel, which means those bumps in the road, rocks on the path, and pesky cracks in the sidewalk will feel like nothing as you cruise on by. Complete with fenders, Busch & Müller lights, and a kickstand, the Splice-E is ready for your campground cruises, neighborhood pub crawls, or a long day on your favorite adventure ride!

Kona 6061 Aluminum
Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminum alloys are used extensively throughout our fleet of mountain and asphalt bicycles. Tough, durable, and light alloys, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of our 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing's wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, so we can fine-tune a particular frame's strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application.

Internal Headset
Bearing cups are actually pressed into the frame and are easily removable. An internal headset also reduces stack height, so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable, giving the rider the best fit possible.

Tapered Head Tube
More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder, while providing confident steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup—maximizing bearing durability where it's needed.
