The Hei Hei has a long-standing history in our lineup as our go-to XC bike. It’s won multiple 24-hour solo world championships. It’s Everested to a world record. It’s podiumed at sanity-testing events all over the world. But it’s not just an insanely fast XC bike. It’s the bike that helps level up anyone’s riding. It makes you want to ride harder and faster. It makes the biggest climbs achievable and if you’re into smashing KOM’s it’s into helping you do that too. With two carbon models and one aluminum, there’s a Hei Hei for everyone. Call it cross-country. Call it down-country. We think it’s more like fun-country.
HEI HEI CR DL
The Hei Hei CR DL is an enigma of a bike. On the surface it looks like a stealthy XC rig with its 120mm of front and rear travel and gorgeous carbon frame, but when you ride the bike it’s like a whole new world is unlocked. Climbing becomes…fun? Yeah, fun! You’ve heard marketing speak say things like “nimble,” well this is what we’re talking about. This bike likes to dance and you’re gonna want to move along with it. Sure, it’s a steadfast racehorse and has won four 24-hour world championships under Cory Wallace, but it’s also an absurdly fun little machine. Don’t be fooled by what looks like an XC bike on the surface. The Hei Hei CR DL knows how to have a good time and it wants to bring you to the next party.
The Hei Hei CR is what you get when you mix speed with practicality. Its lightweight carbon frame supports a parts spec that makes every rider want to push just a bit harder. A veteran of the Kona lineup, the Hei Hei CR has staying power for a reason: it’s an incredibly fun bike for anyone to ride. It punches above its weight in travel, but still possesses cat-like climbing abilities. We dare you to go toe-to-toe with any other short-travel rig and not fall in love with this 120mm little whippersnapper!
