Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Handling

    2019 Kona Big Honzo DL has a 0.5° slacker head-tube angle than 2017 Kona Big Honzo DL in the selected sizes.

    Fork offset, tire size and wheelbase also affect steering; head angle alone is not a handling verdict.

Selected-size geometry

Geometry overlay

Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

How it works

Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
