Kona Hei Hei CR/DL review - MBR

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.

Highs
  • Fast, efficient and fun.

Lows
  • It’s expensive.

Tested: Kona Hei Hei DL 29

Apr 2018

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.
