Whats the equivilant of the Kona Hoss now?

I'm a few years out of date. What is the equivilant of a Kona Hoss now? Doesn't have to be a Kona bike just something for the heavier rider, stronger frame than normal, heavy duty components all round, decent wheels etc, i.e. a bit of a tank that can take a lot of abuse?

Maybe there is a bike that is almost that class if just one or two components are changed?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say it's the 'steely'

I think there are quite a few:

Cove Stiffee

On One 456

Orange Crush

Most brands seem to have a 'hardcore hardtail' these days

Hoss wasn't a "hardcore hardtail", it had pretty standard XC/all day geometry, but it was just built to take some abuse, from heavier riders.

The Northern Monkey

Yeah, the Hoss was a Clydesdale XC bike.

Carrera Fury?
