      Kona Hei Hei trail bike

      Cross Country. Fun Country. Any-Mountain.

      Hei Hei

      The tenth generation of a Kona legend. Lightweight, efficient, composed, and ready to turn every climb and descent into stolen time.

      Steal Back Some Time

      Fast enough for race days, capable enough for real trail riding, and still very much a Kona.

      Time Is A Trickster

      Time is cruel and kind. We try to make it, find it, count it, and stretch it, but it slips through our fingers anyway.

      The climbs feel endless, yet the ribboned turns in the trees are gone before you can fully remember them. So pedal harder. The clock is ticking.

      Built To Move Faster

      The Hei Hei began life in 1991 as a titanium hardtail and evolved into a carbon full-suspension machine that has stacked up podiums, championships, and a reputation for speed.

      Kona spells fast: H-E-I H-E-I.

      Refined Leverage Curve

      The new design prioritizes leverage rate and rider experience with smoother movement, improved maintenance access, and a straighter leverage curve that creates a more consistent feel throughout the full 120mm of travel.

      Improved Rider Experience

      A refined anti-squat curve and more forward pivot placement enhance pedaling efficiency, providing a stable and responsive platform uphill without unwanted shock movement. The chassis feels planted, calm, and confident through technical terrain.

      Hei Hei CR

      A race-capable, trail-friendly carbon machine dressed in SRAM's finest.

      Kona Hei Hei CR

      More Than A Race Bike

      The Hei Hei CR blends sharpness and speed with a broadly capable, trail-friendly personality that makes even the gnarliest climbs fun again.

      Cory Wallace went out and won another 24 Hour World Championship aboard it, so yes, it does just fine as a race bike too.

      It pairs Kona's trademark long and low geometry with a feathery light, composed carbon frame for riders chasing KOMs, podiums, and singletrack smiles.
