KONA Hei Hei
Best lightweight cross country bike for speed focused trail riders.
This is the rare full-suspension rig that actually bridges the gap between cross-country speed and trail-ready confidence. It sacrifices the plush, bottomless feel of a dedicated enduro bike for a snappy, efficient ride that makes long days in the saddle feel significantly less punishing.
