Description
The Ultimate All-Round Hardtail
The Kona Honzo DL is the perfect choice for riders who appreciate the simplicity, reliability, and pure fun of a capable hardtail mountain bike. Designed for enthusiasts who want one bike that can handle almost anything, the Honzo DL combines a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame with modern trail geometry inspired by the Process 134.
Built to be playful yet capable, the Honzo DL features a short seat tube design that allows for a longer-travel dropper post, giving riders maximum freedom and control on technical descents. The adjustable dropouts add even more versatility, allowing the bike to be configured as either a geared trail machine or a single-speed setup.
Positioned perfectly between the classic Honzo and the aggressive Honzo ESD, the Honzo DL offers the ideal balance of speed, control, and durability. Whether you’re exploring local trails, attacking technical sections, or simply enjoying the unique feel of a hardtail, this bike is ready for every adventure.
