(probably have to work harder to find the Big Honzo or Chameleon, but should be able to). Kona Honzo, Kona Big Honzo (similar geo but with 27.5+ tires)īoth should be attainable for ~$1500 or less.
But, this bike is 90% of the Epic for 25% of the cost.īreak a derailleur? Go to your LBS and buy a new one for $50.Īnyway, it's a freaking blast and you won't regret it.Ĭonfused Fitness Addict - Biker first, Nutrition second, everything else third. THe fork leaves a bit to be desired and the wheels are a tad flexy (I'm 165 pounds, ~300w FTP), and it came with a square taper bottom bracket. I didn't want that pricetag but I wanted 12 speed Eagle, decent fork, good looks and clean lines, and modern XC geometry success with the Chisel Comp.
I debated the Expert line (Reba, NX) versus the Comp (Judy, SX) and went with the latter because I just wanted to have some fun.įor reference, I've had an Epic Expert 2019 which was totally bananas and the best overall bike I've ever owned. I paid $1500 out the door (online they're listed at $1650). MSRP is about $200 over your price range, but it has SRAM Eagle and a really nice fork. The only downside is that it has a 27.2mm seatpost, which makes it a bit more difficult to find a dropper post.
