How do I maintain the carbon frame on my Kona Hei Hei CR?

Wash with mild soap, rinse gently, and inspect for chips after every muddy ride. A thin layer of helicopter tape on high-wear zones keeps the carbon bike looking new.

Is the Hei Hei CR really a cheap race bike for beginners?

Absolutely. You get race-proven geometry and a lightweight carbon frame at a price that won’t scare first-time racers—perfect for dipping your toes into XC events without a second mortgage.

Can I upgrade the fork on this trail bike later?

Yes. The 29 mm tapered head tube accepts most modern 120–130 mm forks, so when you're ready for more travel or a damper upgrade, the frame is ready too.
