Algupära
2012. aastal turule tulnud terasest Honzo murdis tolle aja reegleid 1×9 jõuülekande, ülilühikeste ketitugede, 68° roolinurga ja lühikese varrega — retsept, mis oli nii edukas, et pani aluse tänapäevastele agressiivsetele hardtail'idele kogu tööstuses. Terase loomulik paindlikkus neelab raja vibratsiooni, mistõttu on Kona püsinud Honzo perekonnas Cromoly juures juba üle 13 aasta, isegi kui sulamist konkurendid on tulnud ja läinud. ESD variant viib sama idee enduro territooriumile 150 mm kahvli ja lõdvemate nurkadega.

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Genre-defining long-low-slack geometry that descends with the confidence of a much bigger bike
- Very stiff frame and short chainstays give excellent power transfer and a snappy, playful feel
- Low standover and short seat tube allow a longer dropper across every frame size
- Tubeless-ready WTB i30 rims and Boost hubs — a solid, upgrade-friendly platform
- Broad model range (alloy / steel / carbon / Big Honzo / ESD) covers trail through near-enduro use
−Nõrkused
- Punishingly stiff rear end — rough, chattery descents leave the rider battered; comfort is its weakest trait
- Short chainstays restrict fitting larger tyres and push weight rearward on L/XL sizes
- Stock tyres on cheaper builds aren't always tubeless-set-up out of the box (early swap recommended)
- Entry builds carry weaker brakes/fork (older Acera-level kit) and a narrowish gear range for steep climbs
- Despite short stays it isn't especially eager to manual or hop without fitting a shorter stem; ~13.2 kg is heavyish for a hardtail
