Description
The Versatile Trail Hardtail
Often imitated, but never duplicated, the Kona Honzo is one of the cornerstones of Kona’s mountain bike lineup. Built for riders who want something more capable and aggressive than a traditional cross-country hardtail, the Honzo delivers a perfect balance of simplicity, durability, and trail performance.
Equipped with a 120mm RockShox suspension fork, the Honzo provides enough control and comfort to handle technical climbs, fast descents, and challenging trail sections while maintaining the direct and playful feel that makes hardtails so enjoyable.
Whether you’re an experienced rider looking for a reliable bike with timeless appeal or a newer rider ready to explore the world of mountain biking, the Honzo is built to deliver confidence and endless trail fun.
Note: Pedals are not included.
