Kona needs your help naming their forthcoming long travel all-mountain bike and there are some pretty cool prizes on the line including a brand new (unnamed) Kona Magic Link Bike! You can submit 5 names and the Kona marketing team will pick their 5 faves after April 15. The names will then be whittled down as one name is voted OUT each day for four days.

Since you can submit 5 names all I ask is this: make one of your 5 suggestions “singletracks dot com“. It won’t win (sadly) but at least we’ll let Kona know where hip bikers get their MTB info

Clearly Kona needs help naming their bikes - Stinky and Dawg are perhaps the worst MTB names ever. More details are posted below, submit your ideas now! (and don’t forget “singletracks dot com”).

KONAWORLD (April 6, 2009) - Over the last few months, the Kona Bike team of designers and engineers have been hard at work developing a new, super-light, long travel all-mountain bike that incorporates our revolutionary 2-bikes-in-1 Magic Link Technology. But, now, due to our fried brain cells from calculating geometry angles and tweaking our new bike to fractions of millimeters we don’t have the creative juices to give our new rig a good name.

That’s where you - the fun-loving, die-hard mountain biker - come into play.

We need your help in giving our new trail beast the right name. If you’re not familiar with our current CoilAir bikes with the Magic Link technology system, then CLICK HERE. Imagine a six-inch travel bike that weighs less than 30 pounds. One that climbs comfortably and efficiently, but then—when all things start to get bumpy and quick—that same bike morphs into a wicked descender, with slacker geometry, better tracking and an additional inch of travel. No switches necessary.
