It’s no secret that we love the Honzo. There’s something unique and timeless about a hardtail and the Honzo set the standard for what they’re capable of achieving. From this platform came the Big Honzo—a 27.5″-wheeled version sporting fatter tires. They’ve become staples in our lineup because there’s just simply something unexplainable and entertaining about rallying a hardtail. It’s a little bit rock and roll, and we wouldn’t want it any other way

HONZO

Often imitated, but never duplicated, the Honzo is a part of Kona’s foundation. The Honzo is the solution for the rider wanting something a bit more aggressive than a traditional cross-country hardtail. A 130mm fork provides just enough suspension to make quick work of technical sections of trail. Whether you’re a seasoned rider looking for timeless hardtail or a newer rider looking to go a bit deeper into the mountain bike world, the Honzo is an excellent choice.

The Big Honzo is a killer bike for the price. It’s got everything you need and nothing you don’t. Hubs featuring Boost spacing hold nice, beefy 2.8” tires. Hydraulic disc brakes and an 11-speed drivetrain keep the ride feel consistent and intuitive. This is the perfect bike for when you need a little extra grip rolling over tricky roots and rocks.
