Hello everyone. I’m Nobu, and lately, I’ve been feeling the arrival of spring and eagerly waiting for the MTB parks to open. Following up on my previous post about the KONA Gravel Line, this time I’m here to share the arrival information for the 2022 KONA MTB Line!
First, let’s watch the videos to get some inspiration!
These videos show the bikes I'm introducing today in action!
As you can see, they look cool. Undeniably cool. The bikes and the riders mastering them all look cool.
Don’t you want to become a rider who looks that cool too?
Introducing the bikes that will make you look cool!
The two bikes I’m introducing today will stoke a rider’s sense of adventure and take you to all kinds of places.
They’ll also ignite your aggressive side, allowing you to picture yourself as the kind of rider you see in the videos. That’s what these bikes are all about.
【KONA 2022】HONZO ESD

HONZO ESD
PRICE : ¥344,300
COLOR : GLOSS METALLIC GRAPE
SIZE : S , M
The HONZO ESD features geometry inspired by KONA's flagship full-suspension MTB, the PROCESS X, making it the perfect bike for riders who want to push their home trails to the absolute limit!
Equipped with a 150mm travel Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork, Shimano Deore 4-piston brakes for excellent stopping power, and Race Face AR 30 rims with rugged Maxxis tires, it’s built to take on the harshest terrain.
With a dropper post as standard equipment, you’ll always have the optimal seat height for any situation. Add in the tubeless-ready rims and tires, and this is one bike that makes every part of the ride—climbing and descending—fun and aggressive.

Next is the KONA BIG HONZO DL. This bike utilizes the geometry of the HONZO series, the hardtail that laid the foundation for KONA. It comes equipped with adjustable dropouts and can be run as a single-speed or with a derailleur for a multi-gear setup.
While it comes stock with 27.5+ tires, you can also swap them for 29-inch wheels, further expanding its versatility!
With the stiffness required for various trails and ample tire clearance, it’s the ultimate hardtail trail bike that can handle any situation or terrain!
It features a RockShox 35 Silver TK Solo Air 130mm fork, a smooth-shifting Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain, and reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
With a dropper post to ensure the perfect seat height at all times and the latest specs like tubeless-ready 27.5+ rims and tires, this bike is offered at a very reasonable price!
Come check out the real bikes in-store!!
Of course, you can come check out the two bikes introduced here in person and even hop on them to get a feel for them yourself.
In addition to KONA, we also have MTB bikes from brands like Santa Cruz and Ritchey in stock, so please come take a look!

To get as cool as the riders in the videos, there’s no shortcut other than riding and practicing, but let’s start by taking that big first step of getting a great bike! (And let’s be honest, looking the part feels pretty great, too.)
Looking cool starts with taking a courageous first step!
Have a good ride!!
