Kona Hei Hei DL 29 (2017)

On the fence about entering that big cross-country race? Kona’s Hei Hei DL will have you leaping in feet first. The Race Light Carbon frame will rocket past the competition, using all 100mm of rear travel to keep you glued to the trail. A Fox Float 34 fork with 120mm of travel is responsive and efficient with an eye towards the more technical descents. A Maxxis EXO TR Ardent up front confidently controls the trail, while an Ikon out back drives you forward. WTB's KOM 29er rims fight above their weight so you can push through jagged rock gardens and still crank past other riders on the climbs. To ensure you have the gearing to do just that, Hei Hei DL serves up a wide-ranging RaceFace/Shimano 11-speed drivetrain—everything you need to conquer the race course or that coveted Strava KOM. And since we know fast and rad coexist in harmonious bliss, Kona gives you a KS dropper post and powerful Shimano XT brakes, so you can be the first to the bottom.
