Kona Process 111 DL (2014)

The new Process 111 DL 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. With the Process 111, we maximize all the advantages of the big wheel and incorporate slack/low/short geometry, the platform’s signature long toptube, a short stem and a big standover frame design, arriving at a bike that can ride burl beyond the travel numbers. Featuring our new Rocker Independent Suspension, whose stable and progressive leverage rate curve means plush on the down and smooth on the climb, in the Trail/Enduro/All-Mountain segment, the Process 111 DL is one of the most cutting edge 29-inch-wheel bikes on the market.
