Kona Mountain Bikes

Kona’s Big Honzo DL Frame takes the playful, slack geometry Honzo uses to light up singletrack, and ups the ante with room for bigger rubber and bigger fun. When you throw on a pair of 27.5+ tires on wide rims, your footprint opens up like a sled-dog’s paw, aggressively clawing earth and floating over terrain with ease. Kona really wants you to use ALL that extra traction, so Big Honzo is stiff and nimble, squeezing speed out of descents and begging to be swooped through corners. It uses 148 x 12mm Boost spacing and super-short chainstays to tuck in your rear wheel for tight handling and rowdy acceleration, while the long reach and front center get you into a powerful position for aggressive descending. This all adds up to a frame that's ready to go fast on the way up AND down. Throw on a 120mm fork and take proper advantage of the internal dropper post routing to find yourself on a rig that’ll keep you grinning for hours on end.

When all you want is dirt, rocks, and a trustworthy rig that likes to get into trouble, Explosif frame fits the bill. The Reynolds Cromoly frame features sliding thru-axle dropouts and a tapered headtube, so you get the ride quality and longevity steel is known for with the modern designs that let you do more. The result is a trail-blasting stick of dynamite and you’re the match. The Explosif rides like only a Kona can, and they’re sure you’ll appreciate it for years to come.

The heart of a mountain biker and the versatility to do it all are at the core of the Lana’i. Built with a philosophy of making the right bike for the right user, the Lana’i sizing includes a 26-inch wheel size for smaller riders, while the rest of the line hits the trail with 27.5-inch wheels. The lightweight aluminum frame makes riding fun, and the 24-speed drivetrain paired to disc brakes ensures control and confidence for tackling whatever lies ahead. Whether it be gravel paths, light singletrack, or just getting around town, the Lana’i is your entry to adventure.

Meet Honzo ST, a steel 29er hardtail that lays waste to technical singletrack. It's aggressive, confident, and ready to rip with a 68-degree head angle, low bottom bracket, and short chain stays. Other features include a tapered head tube, internal dropper post routing, and sliding, vertical dropouts ready for gears or singlespeed shenanigans. Kona is known for its hardcore hardtails, and the Honzo proudly continues the tradition in robust style.

You are an artist, and the Unit is your canvas. Singlespeed singletrack machine? Yep. Loaded up for a quick overnight or an extended bikepacking trip? Yep. Add whatever drivetrain you like? Yep.

Five sets of bottle cage mounts and rear rack mounts give you plenty of options for accessorizing your ride, because Kona wants you to do things your way — and there's nothing cooler than that.

The Honzo reimagined what a hardtail could be. We’ve taken our favorite parts of the Honzo and tweaked them to add a plusher feel. The Big Honzo is designed around 27.5+ wheels and tires and 130mm of front suspension, though it is possible to run it as a 29er, giving you more options for customization. The reinvented Big Honzo is ready for adventure!

The one that started it all: the almighty steel Honzo. Low-slung. Long reach. Tight rear end. Unmistakably Honzo. What we did with the original steel Honzo has trickled into the DNA of almost every Kona bike since – which is a nice tip of the hat to the material we first started making bikes with. We sell the Honzo ST as a frame only so you can build your own dream ride.

The perfect hardtail is all about balancing geometry, performance and durability. It has to feel just right and take a serious beating, without breaking the bank—a smashable work of art, so to speak. We’ve worked directly with Aggy to revamp the Shonky and make it absolutely perfect: steel frame, long top tubes, sliding dropouts and a tapered head tube make this a jump-shredding machine.
