As above - looking for a new (to me so will be off classifieds here probably) full suss race machine. Currently got a scandium vodoo hardtail but lots of enduro stuff lines up this summer...
By Hei Hei I mean the short travel full suss one and not the old school hardtail.
Pros and cons of either/both please.
Thanks!
Well the Heihei is way lighter than the Epic I think - unless Spesh have done some pimping. All I can say is that the Heihei is an absolutely fabulous bike - bought mine for pure XC racing but I found I can use it on enduros and it's still perfectly comfortable - but good luck finding one on the classifieds 🙂
If you're into a bike justified by a family of 4, a roadie and a bum and designed and R&D's using eggs, toast and bacon.. then Kona's your brand 😉

Sorry - I'm sure that was completey useless and hasn't helped in the slightest.
Cool - thanks guys, much appreciated.
How do they size up? I'm 5'11" so guessing I'd need a 17" or 18"?
Thanks again.
I'm 5'11 and ride 18s or mediums in most bikes but the 18" Kona was too small, so I went for 19.
Konas come up small. I'm 5'5" and ride a 16" heihei. I like it very much and it's really good as a short xc race bike and for enduro stuff too.
I'd fit a 100mm fork for enduro stuff. I put 80mm on mine since I was building it for pure XC initially.
