KONA HONZO ST 29" MTB Grey 2020

Due to delays in global supply chains, Manufacturer may have replaced some original components with equivalent or higher quality components. In some cases, the bike delivered may differ from the images.

The Honzo was the first deep, trail-capable hardtail. Its progressive geometry would be revised over the years, but its playful attitude hasn't changed a bit. It's the 29 that doesn't feel like a 29, the reliable friend who's always ready to party and goes through thick and thin with you. With a RockShox Revelation RC DebonAir 120mm suspension fork, Sram NX crank, Sram NX 11-speed drive with wide transmission range, Vario seatpost with internal cable routing and Maxxis Minion tyres, Kona Honzo is ready to celebrate.

12 x 148 mm rear axle
12 x 142 mm, 12 x 148 mm and 12 x 157 mm rear axle standards offer two main advantages for Kona riders: the 12 mm diameter of the rear axle ensures maximum stability on the rear hub and frame, while the 142/148/157 mm outer diameter of the hub ensures that the wheel is fast and correctly positioned in the frame before the rear axle can be used. From 2016, the 12x148 mm standard will be available as a mix, especially on the new alloy Honzo. 12x148 offers more tyre clearance on the chain stay, while the rear wheel is more stable and durable compared to a 12 x 142 mm thru axle.

TAPERED HEAD TUBE
More circumference on the underside of the head tube distributes the shock better, prolongs the headset's bearing life and eliminates brake shock while providing safe steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the driver more control on uneven terrain.
