I have it on good authority that Kona are introducing a new steel hardtail, this will be called the Blink. Halfords advise me this bike is only for the UK market.

I don’t know if this new bike will be based on the current Explosif steel frame or what sort of spec it will have. I think I'm correct in saying Kona don't currently have a whole steel mtb bike in the UK.

The only other steel hardtail bike Halfords do is the Voodoo Wanga, since I’m looking to buy a steel hardtail via my companies cycle to work scheme, which is the Halfords scheme, I’d like some more information on the future Kona Blink.

    Halfords can source many different bikes, not just the ones you see in store or on the website, so your options may be more open than just the Kona & Voodoo

    I have checked with Halford, they are currently unable to get an Onone Inbred or Rock Lobster, I think they could get a Genesis Altitude 10 though. Don't forget, there is £1000 limit to C2W.

    Well, if anyone's interested, the Kona Blink will be available from mid Feb. About £900, Kona cromo, 120 Tora SL folk, SLX/Deore gear & Shimano brakes. So very similar to Voodoo Wanga (Reba folk). Which is also £899.
