Named after one of our founders, Jake Heilbron aka "The Dutch Devil", winner of the first Canadian Cyclocross Championships in 1978, the entry-level cyclocross Jake is perfect to race or commute.
With multiple US National and Canadian National championships and a zillion different size options, now with a taller headtube for a more comfortable ride, the Jake is the ultimate do-it-all all-the-timer.

Cyclocross bikes are similar to road bike, they are lightweight, with narrow tyres and drop handlebars. However, they also share characteristics with mountain bicycles in that they utilize knobby treaded tyres for traction, and cantilever style brakes for the clearance needed due to muddy conditions. They have to be lightweight because competitors need to carry their bicycle to overcome barriers or slopes too steep to climb in the saddle. The sight of competitors struggling up a muddy slope with bicycles on their shoulders is the classic image of the sport, although un-ridable sections are generally a very small fraction of the race distance. Cross bikes also make good winter bikes or commuters, their frames have plenty of clearance which allows for mudguards, while the upright angles make them agile around town, meaning you can hit the trails at the weekend and then fit some road tyres and commute on them during the week.
Kona Bikes are a specialist bicycle company based in North America, they specialize in high-performance full suspension and hardtail mountain bikes, road racing and touring bicycles. The company name comes from the owners' love of Kailua-Kona in Hawaii. Kona started naming its bicycles after Hawaiian places and volcanic names like the Cinder Cone, Explosif, Hei Hei (Hawaiian for ""race""), Hahannah (Hawaiian for ""hot""), Fire Mountain, Hot, Lava Dome and Kilauea (released in 1993 and named after the Hawaiian volcano). Kona was founded in 1988 by Jacob Heilbron, Dan Gerhard and early MTB champion Joe Murray, who has since moved to Voodoo Bikes. Heilbron and Gerhard still own and run the company. Kona bikes, frames, clothes and accessories all available at Wiggle with massive discounts. Their philosophy is a simple one - building great bikes is not rocket science - it's knowing where to look for ideas and having the intelligence to be quiet and just listen. Since their very beginning, Kona have been listening to those riders who are continually pushing the definition of what a bike needs to be in order to perform. That's why Kona has consistently supported and designed for cycling's top talents. Kona have found that you can't build innovation too far in front, nor too far behind what is currently happening at the moment. Kona innovate when it's necessary, not when the market dictates. Kona's cycling products are designed with the focus on a specific task or need. Every item is designed around the culture of its core users.
