The Hardtail That Started a Revolution

Perhaps it’s a purist’s dream, or maybe it’s the fact that they’re just so darn fun, but the Honzos have some serious staying power. They are the basis of many a dream build, the yang to the yin of a bigger bike, and they are the heart and soul of Kona. The 2021 Honzos get a geometry overhaul, with slacker headtubes and shorter seat tubes, which allow for the use of longer dropper posts. But the big news is the introduction of the Honzo ESD. This thing is a bruiser. A mean-looking steel frame that pays homage to the Process X and runs a 150mm fork, the Honzo ESD is sure to be a hit among the steel bike/hardtail enthusiasts.
