Kona Hei Hei Trail Bike 2017

With the Kona Hei Hei, You get all the speed and climbing prowess you would expect from a XC bike, but when it’s time to point this bike downhill, you'll realize it'so much more.

The Kona Race Light Carbon is lightweight, but strong as all get out. You will never feel like you need to tip toe around while you’re riding the Hei Hei. The Kona Fuse suspension platform with Fox Perfoamnce Float DPS rear shock provides efficient pedaling while remaining plush through the chatter, and then really starts to shine as the bumps get bigger. The 140mm Fox suspension up front will smooth out the roots, and gobble up gnarly rock gardens. The Shimano drivetrain will provide you with smooth and reliable shifting. 27.5 wheels are big enough to supply that roll over anything feeling while remaining nimble through tight switchbacks and technical sections. Keeping it all under control are Shimano’s workhorse SLX disc brakes.

The Hei Hei trail is an unrelenting pursuit to push the limits of what a bike can do. It is perfect for the endurance racer, weekend warrior, or experienced trail rider that wants a fast, go anywhere trail crushing machine that will turn your rides up to 11.

Dope whip. Climbs and jumps like it should.
First full suspension bike. Climbs and depends the nearby trails with ease. Assembly from shipping and tubeless setup were a breeze. Looking forward to testing on NC and VA mountain trails.

Great bike; lighter than claimed by Jenson
I demoed the 2018 version of this at the Sedona MTB Festival and loved it. I was surprised by how well the low-end Fox fork and low-tech single-pivot rear suspension worked. So I picked this one up as last year's model (same frame/fork, almost identical build). Jenson lists the small at 29.1 lbs, but I get 28.5 on my scale. Scales vary, but bikes and other products usually--mysteriously--end up weighing MORE on your scale that whatever weight the mfr or retailer lists...nice one, Jenson!

Super Easy Set up
Set up was even easier than the video shows, Had to put front wheel on and pedals and it is ready to go. I have ordered other bikes on line and the set up was never this easy. I'd write more but the trail is calling. Thanks Jenson!!

It works! KONA Orange bike
This bike is a tough machine. It is easy to ride over grassy areas. The suspension relieves much of the harshness of bumps and rocks. Unboxing and assembly was just common sense .

Great feel, great travel, very light.
So my wife demo ride this bike only the 2018 model. She loved it. After trying several bikes from Trek and Liv, she kept thinking about the Hey Hey. We found this 2017 model at a great price so we got it for her. She absolutely
loves it!!!

For a medium travel it handles the descent with ease... even with a few mistakes on my behalf it took it in stride and kept ripping! Uphill boss thanks to the quick flip to firm settings on the shocks

First Full Suspension
This bike is a huge blessing, and improvement over my Haro Hardtail 29er. It’s smooth handling at all speeds, with lots of suspension adjustments, and incredible geomety. This bike is so easy to lean, and the suspension drives smoothly, and predictably through all terrain. Amen while I’m not a very proficient jumper, I know I’m no where near the limit of this bike.

For the equipment, and the price you can’t beat it. I’m so glad I snagged one of the medium frames before they sold out. The dropper post works flawlessly, though a little extra travel out of it would have been helpful.

All in all, damn near perfect bike. I love it!

what size crank is on the medium 170mm or 175mm?
shawn o on Jul 2, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Depends on the drive train: The bike I bought my wife Xsml frame the 170 is standard. I believe the standard set up for a medium bike is also 170mm crank arm. If you specifically want the 175mm you would need to call customer service.
Widest rear tire size?

BEST ANSWER: I've got 2.5 Onza Citius on them. It's boost sized, I'd bet good money you'd have no issue with a 2.7/2.8
