Expirience with the Kona HEI HEI CR

Ludwig Döhl The HEI HEI CR was relaunched in 2020 and no longer wants to be a classic race fully. With a little more suspension travel, this downcountry bike wants to climb fast and shred single trails on the descent. Kona is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. There are Downcountry-Bike in the price under 6000 Euro that have more potential downhill. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Kona sets the bar high!
