Description
The Ultimate All-Round Hardtail
The Kona Honzo DL is a must-have for riders who appreciate the simplicity, reliability, and pure fun of a hardtail mountain bike. Built around a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame with geometry inspired by the Process 134, the Honzo DL delivers a modern trail experience that is ready to attack climbs, descents, and everything in between.
A short seat tube design allows for a longer-travel dropper post, giving riders more freedom and control on technical terrain. The adjustable dropouts add versatility, allowing the Honzo DL to be ridden as a traditional geared mountain bike or converted into a single-speed setup.
Sitting perfectly between the classic Honzo and the aggressive Honzo ESD, the Honzo DL is Kona’s all-round hardtail built for riders who want one bike that can handle any location. From local trails to technical adventures, this bike delivers confidence, durability, and endless riding possibilities.
