Kona Process Review

The Kona Process series has a number of models in its line, including the 153 DL among others. We noticed a mainly alloy frame with some parts that were made of carbon, which made us a little curious as to why exactly the bike cost so much.

In addition to this, the fork of the bike had a RockShox Pike set on it, which isn’t the most high-end set in the world. One of the biggest perks that we noticed, though, was the way the suspension is driven by a pivot. This is a formula that Kona has been using on its bikes for a while, and its served the Process well, turning it into a machine that could fly across the ground with ease and precision.

The suspension was complemented by another RockShox Monarch Plus RC3, which was pretty responsive. We were able to go down some pretty scary trails with no problems such as having the wheels off the ground most of the time.

+Pros:

  • Great looking design with nice detailing
  • Pivot suspension
  • Very good shock absorption
  • Really responsive ride

-Cons:

  • Not the best kit in the world for the price

The Verdict

You can be sure of having the best downhill ride ever on the Kona Process, a bike that will treat you well no matter how harshly you test it.

We really liked the ride and the handling of the bike. It performed very well during our review, and left us feeling pretty happy with the overall ride. However, we did get the feeling that it was a little overpriced for the kit that was provided to us with the bike.

This suspension setup consists of a Recon RL Motion Control fork and a Deluxe Select Trunnion-mount shock. The 140mm travel of the fork cushions every bump at your front-end while the 134mm travel on the shock keeps your rear in check on the most trying of terrains. The bike is driven-on by a Shimano Deore 1×11-Speed drivetrain, ensuring smooth and crisp shifting performance for climbing steep hills with ease and blasting from trail to trail. WTB ST i30 Rims and Maxxis Wide Trail TyresA set of WTB ST i30 rims, wrapped in Maxxis Wide Trail tyres, ensure a stable and performance though even the most daring terrains, with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes at your fingertips to contol your momentum in all-weather conditions.

A tough, durable, light alloy, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of our 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, so they can fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application. Tapered Head Tube: More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder, while providing confident steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going-into the lower headset cup-maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed. 12mm Thru Axles: 12x142mm, 12×148 and 12×157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. For 2017, you’ll see the 12×148 Boost standard in the mix. Boost spacing provides more tyre clearance at the chainstay yoke, while the rear wheel is stiffer and more durable relative to a 12×142 thru-axle. Beamer Independent Suspension: Built to be off-the-top progressive, Beamer Independent Suspension helps the bike to stay higher in the travel and recover from hits more quickly. The Operators are instilled with what our product managers like to call “pure shock movement,” whereby the shock is protected from side load. Designed to be highly tuneable and extremely durable, the Beamer IS is our version of greased lightning.
