"The latest Kona Hei Hei strikes a balance between XC climbing efficiency and trail‑ready descending capability." 

Dylan Wood at Blister.com spent three months putting the 2025 Kona Hei Hei through rigorous testing, and he came away seriously impressed. Not just with the bike's climbing prowess: "my first few rides … I didn’t even think about touching the shock’s rear lockout" but also with its confidence on the descents: "On the way down, the Hei Hei provides a responsive, playful, and impressively capable ride."

"The Hei Hei is easy to flick around and maneuver in tight corners, and it’s also quite agile and easy to change directions at the last minute aboard this bike."
