Now that the new 27.5″ wheeled Hei Hei Trail is able to be found at your local Kona dealer, Kona Bikes wanted to cook up something special for the occasion. This is the same short travel, aggressively minded trail bike we had a blast on in Squamish for its release, but our riding doesn’t quite compare to World Cup DH ripper Connor Fearon. Further proof that even though a modern trail bike doesn’t have massive amounts of travel, it’s still possible to have way too much fun…
Riding up in the Selkirk Mountains of British, Columbia, it’s easy to start dreaming of new trail adventures after watching that clip – you gotta love the raw sounds of nature and rider at the beginning.
With the Kona Hei Hei Trail now available, if you’ve narrowed down the search to the 27.5″ wheeled variety you’ll have three to choose from. Featuring a Kona Race Light full carbon frame with their Fuse suspension platform doling out 140mm of travel at the rear and a matching 140mm up front, pricing starts with the orange Hei Hei Trail at $4199. Next is the Hei Hei Trail DL at $5,999, followed by the top end black and gold Hei Hei Trail Supreme at $7499. Each bike comes equipped with properly wide 27.5 x 2.3″ Maxxis EXO TR Tomahawk tires, dropper posts, 1x drivetrains, and wide bars with short stems for a BC worthy ride. Available now.
