If we had to sum up the Hei Hei in one sentence it would be this: The Hei Hei is fast, fun, easy to ride, climbs like a mountain goat, descends like a cheetah, is affordable, has no frills but everything you need with its 120mm of front and 100mm of rear travel, and will ensure that you end every ride with a smile on your face. Run on sentences aside, the Hei Hei has been in our lineup for decades because it’s one of the best bikes we’ve ever made. It blurs the line between XC and trail bike and has proved that great ideas evolve into bikes with staying power.

“I’d been curious about an XC bike. Coming from a background of downhill and big mountain riding, a short-travel full-suspension bike felt like a crazy idea. Well, one ride and I was hooked! This thing brings the party back to the trails! No resting on extra travel to save you. The Hei Hei is awesome because it tests your limits and makes you a better rider, both up and down the mountain!” -Random Kona Staffer
