Kona geometry ‘97 - ‘98

[sunchaser]

Hi,

Any of you guys know if there’s any difference in geometry between between a ‘97 & ‘98 Kilauea?

Mainly thinking about suitable fork length rigid vs suspension.

I have a ‘98 Kilauea & I’m thinking of fitting a suspension fork but, not sure if something from ‘97 or earlier would work.

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum but, the topic covers both era.

Plus, this forum seems to get a lot more traffic.

Cheers for any help / advice

No differences with that frame geometry across those years.

Nice one.

Now I need a decent fork. Any recommendations? Nothing too long.. don’t want my Kona to look or ride like a chopper.

Something 80mm travel a period marzocchi bommer is usually the best match
