Stolen Kona Bikes: UK Frame-Number Check (Free)
Last updated
Quick answer
Kona frame numbers are stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket. Kona is a popular mountain and adventure brand in the UK, so it appears regularly in used and theft listings. Run the number through Cyclesite's free lookup for an instant UK check against police records, stolen-bike databases and community reports.
Where Kona stamps the frame number
On the underside of the bottom bracket shell on the vast majority of Kona mountain, gravel and adventure bikes. E-bikes carry the frame number on the frame itself, separate from the motor and battery serials, which is what stolen-bike databases use.
Kona on the UK used market
Kona has a strong following in mountain and adventure riding, so the Process and Honzo trail bikes, the Unit hardtail and the Sutra and Rove drop-bar models appear often in used listings. Higher-spec carbon and e-MTB models are higher-value targets, so confirm the frame number against a receipt before paying.
