The Unit X has become a cult favorite among die-hard Kona fans. Maybe it’s the Cromoly frame.

Maybe it’s because the rigid fork makes it that much more of a classic. We may never know why the Unit X is such a popular bike, but we can only guess it’s because it is one of the most practical machines in our lineup.

For the hardtail enthusiast, the Honzo DL is a quintessential bike to have in your quiver.
