Any rider interested in covering ground quickly without having to sacrifice a great deal on the descents would be stoked with the Kona Hei Hei.

As XC racing evolves, brands are left with a choice. Keep things traditional or change with the times. Kona's new carbon Hei Hei does a little of both.

The 2020 Kona Hei Hei continues its metamorphosis from XC race machine to something much more trail-capable.
Apr 2019 · Alan Muldoon
Kona is better known for its freeride bikes but it’s no stranger to XC racing either, the 100mm travel Kona Hei Hei being its weapon of choice.
Fast, efficient and fun.
It’s expensive.

This carbon race bike handles crazy sections of trail crazy well.

I have to come clean right out of the gate. I was gifted this 2017 Hei Hei DL by Kona to be both a test steed for this rad rag and as a rider for their ambassador program. A conflict of interest, but I want you to know I am being as honest as I always am when writing my reviews. Kona Supergrassroots is a semi-pro team; 15 to 20 of us ride and race and send in media to be used as promotional whatnot.
