@bikewriter: Ah well. Perceptions are funny. I didn't realize Kona had such a shitty reputation. Regardless, I'm loving my Hei Hei and have zero regrets.

@bikewriter: Hmmm...sure you aren't thinking about the old design? I remember that purple one. Anywho, you are probably right about perceptions and getting swamped by other Bellingham brands. Which is a shame because its a great riding bike that I think could do well if it got more press.

@bikewriter: Huh. Really? The "new" design is only 2 years old and is very similar to a ton of other DC bikes (like the Allied, Spec Epic Evo and SC Blur TR). $4899 US isn't bad for the SLX/Fox Performance build. And Levy liked it back in 2020 https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-konas-fresh-hei-hei-can-make-cross-country-fun.html#pinkbikestake

Bummed the Kona Hei Hei was not included. Again.
Its the less-filthy-rich-person's Allied BC-40! (And I love mine.)
