Verdict on the Hei Hei CR test

With a 130-millimetre fork and rough tyres, the Hei Hei CR is supposed to be a real trail bike. However, the Kona is not entirely convincing. The losses when rolling are greater than the benefit downhill. Other tyres and possibly lighter wheels would suit the Hei Hei much better. - Peter Nilges, BIKE Test Manager
