Our intent with this bike was to position it as something “more” than just a race bike, because the Hei Hei embodies this incredible blend of sharpness and speed in a broadly capable, trail-friendly package that makes even the gnarliest climbs fun again.
But then Cory Wallace went out and won ANOTHER 24 Hour World Championship aboard it, so, yeah. It does just fine as a race bike too.
But the new Hei Hei CR is so much more than that. It couples Kona’s trademark long and low geometry with a feathery light but beautifully composed carbon fiber frame, then gets dressed up in a fitting ensemble of SRAM’s finest.
Whether you are harvesting KOMs or singletrack saturated smiles, the Hei Hei CR is gonna stack them up fast.
