Expirience with the Kona Hei Hei CR DL

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. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. With the shifting components, Kona fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
