Expirience with the Kona Hei Hei

Ludwig Döhl If you buy the Downcountry-Bike of Kona, you will really feel suitably prepared for tours with lots of high meters. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. Thanks to a moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. A good argument for the Kona Hei Hei: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
