Kona ambassador and trail slayer Ryan Gardner has put together a trail ready and fun loving Hei Hei CR build with lots of light but bomber parts from Ryan's sponsors WTB and e-thirteen. Pretty excited for my first ever “XC” bike, especially since it rips so good on the downhills!
The bike features new e-thirteen Optimus Race Carbon Trail wheels complete with XC cushcores and WTB tan wall rangers.
E-thirteen Helix cranks and cassette pair up nicely with the SRAM AXS GX derailleur.
I added the Vario dropper post for 210 mm of travel to get the seat out of the way and the color matched clamp kit keeps the vibes right!
More e-thirteen goodness for the bar and stem are the same as on my enduro bikes to keep everything feeling consistent.
