honestly its the funnest bike I've owned and its a 29er! dare I say it but it had a BMXy feel when I first hopped on the bike, the slack geometry really improves the agility of this ride I was able to throw it about a lot more than a 29er XC bike, to me they feel really boat like when their thrown around corners, and I find they don't respond as quick through technical sections. but this is a totally different game all together, its so agile through technical trail and switch backs so you can really take a solid line. and you still get the stability at higher speeds from those big wheels. you saw in the video I even managed to get the back end out on one of the switch backs! seriously fun hard tail! if your in the market for a top quality alloy hard tail go for the Honzo, I think they now do a carbon version as well. this is the Honzo AL but take a look at the DL I think it comes with a fox 34 fork as instead of the rockshox recon. the recon is still a great entry level air fork. (must note I had an underlying broken wrist whilst filming this)
Just ordered mine today.
I have the same bike. It's a lot of fun!
Really interested in this bike. Can you give a review?
