At a glance

The 2021 Kona Jake the Snake is a General and Endurance aluminium road bike. It is priced at $1,799 USD, comes in a range of sizes, including 48cm, 50cm, 52cm, 54cm, 56cm, 58cm and a sram drivetrain. The bike is part of Kona's Jake the Snake range of road bikes.

The working man’s steed, the Jake the Snake is the go-to bike for Cyclocross racers and hardcore commuters alike. The legendary Jake the Snake features race-driven geometry in a tough yet light aluminum frame, steers with a full carbon flat mount disc fork, and is accompanied by tubeless-ready wheels wrapped with Maxxis All Terrane tires, a SRAM Apex 1×11 drivetrain, and TRP hydraulic disc brakes.

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.

Tubeless Compatible Rims
Tubeless rims allow for tires with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tire pressure, which provides better tire grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tire systems.

12x142mm Axle
12x142mm, 12×148, and 12×157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer dimension of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted.
