The Kona Hei Hei is a short-travel full-suspension mountain bike on a mission to blur the lines between cross-country and trail bike. Its modern geometry and cavernous main triangle had us wondering how it would perform as a loaded bikepacking rig, and after four months of testing, we’re ready to share our findings. Find our detailed review of the Kona Hei Hei CR / DL here…
Impressive pedaling efficiency and suspension characteristics while in the saddle
Lightweight, high-performance build is thoughtfully designed and suits the bike
Lots of space in main triangle on carbon builds for a custom frame bag or two full-sized water bottles
Progressive cross-country geometry can handle a lot more than other short-travel XC bikes
CR/DL build is pricey
2.5” tire clearance is pushing it
2.25” Rekons are limiting
Not a diehard race bike or a true trail rig, which might not suit your needs

Think 120mm of travel is overkill for an XC race weapon? Think again.
Light
Snappy
Fast
Not as plush as similar travel linkage bikes
A bit squirrely at high speed
Cable management could be more sano

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.

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.
