Kona Process 134 DL (2014)

Creating the perfect Enduro bike is an exercise in finding the perfect balance between geometry, pedal efficiency, rolling resistance, travel, weight, stiffness, durability, price, the list goes on. With our all-new Process 134 DL, we set out to find that ideal balance. We use oversized bearings for ultimate suspension performance; we keep the BB low, tweak the leverage rate curve so the bike stays high in the travel and pedals smoothly. We used the shortest possible chainstays for a nimble, responsive ride and increased the front center with a slack 68-degree headtube angle, longer toptubes and a short (40mm) stem. The result is a stiff, precise handling ride that’s stable at high speeds.
