KONA HONZO DL | A serious aluminum hardtail that can tackle both climbs and descents

More freedom, more fun on the trails. A versatile hardtail that excels on both climbs and descents.

The KONA HONZO DL is an all-rounder MTB positioned between the classic trail hardtail "HONZO" and the more aggressive "HONZO ESD".

Combining the high terrain-conquering ability unique to a 29er with the stability of a 140mm travel ROCKSHOX REVELATION fork, it achieves an exquisite balance that allows riders to enjoy a wide range of trail riding.

The lightweight yet highly rigid 6061 aluminum frame features slider dropouts, internal cable routing, and a PF92 BB. It also boasts high customizability, making it an attractive option for riders to evolve it to their liking over time.

The combination of a SRAM NX/GX MIX 12-speed drivetrain and 29x2.5"/2.4" tires handles everything from steep climbs to rough descents with ease. A dropper post is also standard equipment, making it a bike that allows you to immediately enjoy serious trail riding.

For those who ask, "Which trail bike should I choose?", this HONZO DL is highly recommended.

With a 140mm fork, 29x2.5-inch tires, and even a dropper post as standard, it's ready to hit serious trails right out of the box. It offers solid confidence on descents, and climbing is very comfortable thanks to the SRAM 12-speed drivetrain.

Furthermore, the inclusion of slider dropouts is an interesting point. It leaves plenty of room for future customization, such as converting to a single-speed.

I believe it's an "all-in-one" bike that offers the direct fun of a hardtail while being capable of handling a wide range of terrain.
