Kona: “We’re Seriously Stumped”

The good folks at Kona, makers of some sweet bikes, have a bike naming contest for their newest bike that has yet to be revealed. 1st prize winner gets a new Kona 6″ travel AM rig. Here’s the info:

“We’re Seriously Stumped” Name our New Bike Contest:

Over the last few months, our team of designers and engineers here at Kona 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.

Imagine a six-inch travel bicycle 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.

Just submit your five favorite model names to us by April 15, 2009. Our currently-creatively-challenged-crew will then pick the top five entries. From there we’ll eliminate one name every four days by allowing the public to vote a name off the list. We’ll announce the winner and remaining four runner-up entries May 1st, 2009.
