Expirience with the Kona HONZO DL

Ludwig Döhl The HONZO DL has a little more travel than the other Honzos and doesn't shy away from extreme descents. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Kona is a very balanced customer. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. On climbs, other bikes in the under 3000 Euro present a little better performance than the All Mountain von Kona. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Kona puts a lot of trust in its products.
