Kona Hei Hei sizing

Hi all

really sorry to ask a very stupid question.

I’m getting back in to biking after a few years away and looking at new (to me) bikes.

Having previously had (and loved) a Kona Four, I really like the idea of a kona Hei Hei deluxe. I’ve seen a 2015 bike but the size is listed as 18.5”. I think that’s a mistake as they only did 18 and 19 options, but I’ll clarify that.

What I can’t work out is what size an 18” is! I’m a medium in every bike brand I’ve ever bought, so is 18” a medium or is that a large? I’ve tried searching online and can’t work it out.

sorry to ask a probably very basic question and thanks for any help.

The 2015 heihei seems to come in 15 17 19 21 inches. 17inch would be a medium.

The 2016 heihei comes in 14.5 16.5 18.5 20.9 inches. 16.5 is medium, 18.5 is large

They're was a significant change in frame design from 2015 to 2016. I'd look out for a 2016 model if you're set on one. I have one and they're great bikes.

Can't help on the sizing (I'm out of the country at the moment) but I've got a 2022 CR/DL and absolutely love it.  I'm 175cm and have a Medium.

Thank you so much.

you’re absolutely right and having looked at the images, it’s a 2016 and therefore will be a 18.5, which is a shame as that’ll be too big. I’ll go on the hunt for a medium

thanks again.

Thank you. We’re the same height, so def need the medium

glad you like yours - there’s something about Konas - once you’ve had one you seem to be a loyalist for life!
