Great bike and great price
Fun bike, great geometry, looks cool too.
Wish it was a true Gx drivetrain as cranks are Nx, I knew that going in. Dropper is great, just the clamp holding on the remote sucks. Replaced the bars, and could not get the remote clamp tight because the bolt was stripped. Looks like the assembler had same issue, he solved it with electrical tape around the bar, which I’d really like to avoid going forward.
Love it otherwise!

Love it!
Great bike at a great price! Popped on the front wheel, added some pedals and hit the trail. Easy peasy! Thanks Jenson!

I Feel the Need for Speed
I bought this bike because I wanted to find a bike light enough to make climbing easier, but solid and comfortable enough to handle long rides. The Honzo did the trick for me. I'm only an intermediate rider, but have experienced PRs on several of my normal trail rides. The bike is fast. First time with a dropper post, and I love it. Nice that it comes standard. Overall very happy with Kona geometry, and great service from Jenson. Really fast delivery, and great customer service in answering some questions I had. Easy assembly right out of the box.

Is it Boost spacing, 110F/148R ???
how many of these do you have?
BEST ANSWER: Hello,
We still have a handful of this bike in med, large, and XL, but they are selling quickly. We'd recommend jumping on it quickly if your hoping to grab one.

What is the maximum tire width for the rear?
BEST ANSWER: Hey Michael,
Kona recommends 29x2.4" as the max. Some rim/tire combos may allow you to stretch that number a bit.

Also, is there a way to mount a bash guard on it?
