Ludwig Döhl The Honzo DL has a little more travel than the other Honzos and doesn't shy away from extreme descents. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Kona Honzo DL. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. In the saddle of the on demanding trails your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other All Mountain 2699 Euro with higher quality components. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Kona sets the bar high!
