Kona Hei Hei Lisa Mountain Bike - 2011 BCS
When you get home from a mentally exhaustive day of spinning your wheels and kissing higher-ups asses, one thing you can look forward to is your four legged friend happily wagging its tail, and the trusty Kona Hei Hei Lisa Mountain bike patiently leaning against the wall. Leave the days accumulated stress pile behind, and disappear into the lush forest with what matters most.
- Kona Race Light butted scandium tubing keeps weight as low as possible while providing a responsive chassis
- Shimano SLX and XT drivetrain 10-speed components are reliable, offer precise shifting and gear spread for any mountain situation
- Avid Elixir 5 hydraulic disc brakes with oversized front rotor provide powerful and constant stopping
- RockShox Recon Gold TK front fork levels trail imperfections for a smooth, comfortable ride
Bottom Line:
Free your mind.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

There is absolutely no way to compare my old bike to the Hei Hei Lisa (hence the title), so I can't go that route. I'm a thrifty New Englander at heart that has been scandalized by the escalating price of a decent bike these days, but I finally had had enough of dragging my crappy bike up and down the local trails. When I spotted this price (under the magic $2000) I went for it -- soooooo happy I did! This bike is light, nimble, and super-fun. I don't know a whole lot about bikes, but I asked people who do and they said that the bike looked great, and the components looked really good for the price. It arrives semi-assembled, but my husband and I had no problem putting it together in an hour, although we did take it to a local bike shop for the last 5% and a final tweak. I've been out a couple of times with it and can't believe what a difference a good bike makes. I get it now!
Change me.
