Expirience with the Kona HONZO

Ludwig Döhl The HONZO is an exciting bike for those who don't want to spend a fortune but still want to open the throttle and let it rip on the descents. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position of the tours on lower mountains moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the HONZO doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Trailbike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. On the way to the summit, the Trailbike von Kona lets it rip. With its 464 bandwidth on the gears and the overall athletic alignment, the on moderate to demanding trails competitors got some catching up to do. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Kona puts a lot of trust in its products.
