In our latest long-term bike test, Skyler reviews the Kona Big Honzo DL and takes us deep into the realm of sacred trail and bikepacking geometry...
Nearly everything related to its geometry makes the Big Honzo just a really good bike: It’s comfortable; Efficient riding position; Climbs really well; Confidence-inspiring descender (for a hard tail); Also does flat well; Fun, playful, nimble
Rock Shox Yari fork and Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires stand out as great components
Light overall weight thanks to hydroformed aluminum frame
Internal routing for cables but external for hoses, which is clean but low-faff
Relatively low bottom bracket height conspires with long crank arms and low-engagement hub for annoying pedal strikes
NX shifting could be snappier
Center-lock rotors are an annoyance to remove for travel
Press-fit bottom bracket
Small front triangle means limited frame bag space
Limited braze-ons for one bottle cage only

The original Kona Honzo was a radical 29in hardtail built for grin-inducing fun. So how does that translate to titanium? Jason digs deep with the Honzo Ti.

The original Kona Honzo was a forward thinking hardtail for all mountain enthusiasts. In its newest incarnation, the bike has been reborn as an XC race bike and given the carbon treatment. - Mtbr.com

Kona's aggressive hardtail 29er goes carbon: check out our Kona Honzo CR review.

The Kona Honzo AL DL has switched to aluminium from last year's steel option. Is it still a the grin inducing hardtail we loved away from its ferrous roots
Great geometry and handling
No seatpost QR and steel bead tyres

Stick to steep downhills and you’ll be laughing, though the super-stiff back end does compromise comfort
