Review - Kona Honzo CR Hardtail

Sep 2018 · Aiden

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

Kona Big Honzo DL, Long-term Review

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...

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Kona Honzo AL (2016) review - MBR

Jan 2016 · Danny Milner

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

Highs
  • Great geometry and handling

Lows
  • No seatpost QR and steel bead tyres

Sep 2015 · Tom Marvin

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