Hardtail

Speed, efficiency, and nimble handling are at the top of your list, because that’s what it takes to bag KOMs and podiums – and get rad along the way. The Honzo CR Race is our lightweight singletrack rocket with a RockShox RS-1 fork, 12-speed SRAM Eagle dr

We took the legendary Honzo platform and gave it the carbon treatment. The result? An extremely lightweight, smooth-riding hardtail that makes you wonder whether you even need a full suspension bike at all. The Honzo CR Trail DL is our cream of the crop,

Who ever said that a hardtail couldn’t be as fun as other trail bikes? Who assumed a 29-inch hardtail couldn’t have an aggressive trail geometry and a carbon frame that can climb almost as fast as it descends? How come a dropper post and wider/stiffer Boo

You don’t need to be convinced that hardtails have their place – you may already have one or two. The Honzo CR Trail is the hardtail for those looking for something more. Maybe you’ve owned a Honzo before and you’re looking for that nimble handling, playf

Full squish bikes may get all the attention these days, but nothing compares to riding a hardtail on the trail, and the Honzo CR Trail is perhaps the one bike that can steal the limelight. Its aggressive stance, nimble-handling carbon frame and mischievou

Kona’s heritage in steel hardtails runs deep, and today’s Explosif is a direct descendant of our legendary originals. This year we’ve pulled out all the stops with SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and Guide brakes, new 120mm RockShox Revelation fork and Rev

Take the agile handling and legendary fun of the Honzo, give it the confidence-inspiring traction and comfort of 27.5+ tires, and you get a new-school hardtail. With geometry optimized around 27.5+ wheels, a new RockShox Revelation fork, fast and grippy t

Whoever said fat bikes weren’t for trail riding obviously hasn’t ridden a Wozo. With a RockShox Bluto suspension fork, a SRAM 11-speed drivetrain, Maxxis Minion FBF and FBR tires, and geometry inspired by our legendary Honzo hardtails, the Wozo is far fro

It’s difficult to really peg the Honzo into a category. It’s an efficient climber, yet truly shines on the descents – especially when things get twisty. With a SRAM 1x11 drivetrain, dropper post, RockShox Revelation fork, and WTB i29 rims with tubeless-re

We’ll call it an evolution of the bike everyone else is already chasing. We took the aggressive and dynamic geometry of the trail-happy Honzo and gave it a 27.5-inch-plus wheel size for those wanting to put more rubber to the trail.

Our Honzo line was already wildly popular before we introduced the Big Honzo, and now there’s yet another flavor to enjoy. With the addition of traction-happy and smooth-riding 27.5+ wheels, the Big Honzo is a confidence-inspiring singletrack shredder.
