Kona has been known for making rowdy bikes that are not only extremely capable but just fun to ride. We have tested our fair share of Konas over the years

The Honzo Carbon takes the 29in carbon hardtail where it has not dared to go before. Did Kona do a bad bad thing? Wil gets involved to find out.

Dec 2016 · Skyler Des Roches
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 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.

Apr 2016 · Seb Stott
A pretty fast and comfortable ride on the flat, yet surprisingly capable when pushed hard. Buy if you want a versatile 29er hardtail and are willing to shell out for a few upgrades
Big wheels bring extra speed and comfort, stable handling at speed and in slippery conditions, roomy top tube improves comfort and stability
Overgeared for some riders, needs a qr seat clamp, heavy rolling stock imparts a slightly lazy feel

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
