Lots of surprises riding this modern, long, slack, 29er hardtail with a 150mm fork - plus Cam's Top Ten Reasons for riding a hardtail...

The Kona Honzo ESD stretches things way out for the slackest, wildest, and most capable steel Kona hardtail yet.

The new Kona Honzo ESD hardtail is extra slack, dude. If you're in the market for an aggressive hardtail, don't look past the Kona Honzo.

Whether your first choice is an ultra-light carbon XC race bike or a super-plush enduro ripper, there’s something about a steel hardtail—and the person pedaling it—that commands respect. My first mountain bike was a steel hardtail, a 1996 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo I bought from a bike courier in Washington, D.C. The courier had hacked off the rear dropouts and welded on horizontal dropouts to run it as a singlespeed.

Kona's Big Honzo is a fun, Plus tyred hardtail that packs in well-balanced geometry, an engaging ride and a spec that's generally functional, if low-rent. This 2019 bike lets the side down with sketchy tyres and budget brakes amongst other gripes which make it hard to recommend, but the 2020 update looks much more promising.

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.
