Kona Process 111 (2014)

The new Process 111 balances the speed and brute force of the Satori with the nimble aggressiveness of the Honzo. Defining characteristics of the bike are short (430mm) chainstays and a low BB, both achieved by omitting the front derailleur, redefining what a 29-inch-wheel dual-suspension bike is capable of. With the 111, we maximize all the advantages of the big wheel, incorporate slack/low/short geometry and the platform’s signature long toptube, short stem, big standover frame design and arrive at a bike that can ride burl beyond the travel numbers. Featuring our new Rocker Independent Suspension, who’s stable, progressive leverage rate curve means plush on the down and smooth on the climb.
