Kona Hei Hei 29er SE: Not the Short Bus

It's August in the Verde Valley and here at Sultana Cycles, we're crossing our fingers for the monsoon -- and soon. 10 days over 100 degrees makes it difficult to enjoy a leisurely roll through the park. However, rains and cooler weather will be here before you know it, and we have some exciting new inventory, professionally assembled and ready for your admiration.

Today's pick is special ed like you've never seen before: the Special Edition Orange Kona Hei Hei 29er.




What is it? A special edition dual suspension mountain bike with four inches of travel front and rear and big, beautiful 29-inch Easton wheels. Hei Hei means "race" in Hawaiian and this bike will roll . . . over rocks, logs, roadkill (and maybe even your riding buddy) without a pause. The Hei Hei features Kona's 4-Bar linkage that's more pedal efficient, a fairly light-weight but heavy duty RockShox fork, Sram 3x10 drive train Avid Elixir hydraulic disk breaks, and sweet refinements like more standover room, setback seat post, and tapered head tube.

Why we love it? With the ability to climb like a goat and descend like an avalanche without chattering your teeth, its an affordable full suspension bike that makes pretty much every trail accessible and comfortable to novice and experienced rider.

Plus, as diehard Clemson Tigers fans (some by marriage or birth than by choice), you can't beat that sassy orange and white color combo!

Available at Sultana Cycles and priced below MSRP -- tax-included at $2850. Stop by and take it for a ride. We guarantee you won't even notice the heat.
