“I’m really happy to be joining Kona this year. A big draw for me was the bikes, I love the Process range and felt really comfortable right from the word go. Kona are known in the mountain bike industry for their relaxed attitude and desire to make bikes that will make you smile. That fits really well with me; racing for Kona allows me to be myself and just enjoy riding. There’s no pressure on me and I like that. I can’t wait to get the season going, I’ve been training hard over winter and hope to make a big impact on the National Enduro scene this year”

Thomas will be racing the Kona Process 111 and 153 models.
