Kona Big Honzo DL review (2019)

Jul 2019

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.
