Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox Revelation RC model. The travel on this model is 120mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the HONZO bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Kona HONZO is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
HONZO comes in 4 sizes, that range from 152 cm – 195 cm (4.99 ft – 6.4 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
