Agile aluminum hardtail frame for 27.5" trail setups.

The Kona Honzo frame (2018 model year) in frame size S is a proven foundation for a playful yet smooth-riding trail hardtail. The Honzo series stands for progressive geometry, plenty of control, and high riding enjoyment on technical trails. The midnight blue color gives the frame a subtle, premium look.

Designed for 27.5" wheels and a fork with 120 mm of travel, the frame offers a balanced combination of efficiency, stability, and trail capability. The Boost rear end (12x148 mm) provides high stiffness and precise handling. With a PF92 bottom bracket and the 44 mm upper / 55.95 mm lower head tube standard, the frame meets proven trail standards.

The frame uses a 31.6 mm diameter seatpost and a 34.9 mm seatpost clamp. Weighing only approximately 1745 g, the Honzo is one of the particularly lightweight aluminum hardtail frames in its class.
