Reply To: Hardtail Advice: $2,000~ Price Range

I currently have a customer built Kona Honzo ST. If you like the steel game, then it is a win win. I went with it because of the incredible geometry, and it fits my 6’4″ body really well since its a pretty long bike. I threw Xt M8000 drivetrain and brakes and a fox 34 factory fork on there, and I bought every component myself with the exception for the tires which I stole off of my old bike. All in all it ran me about $2200 ($2400 once I add the OneUp Dropper next month). I’ve taken it on some pretty crazy trails and taken on everything the guys with FS bikes are doing. I love this bike.
