Kona Process 134 DL (2017)

Ever since its inception, Kona’s Process 134 DL has impressed everyone who is lucky enough to shred a trail on one. So hit the trailhead and enjoy the smooth climb knowing that once it’s time to hit the Southpaw Dropper remote, you’d better hold on to your hip bag because it’s going to be an amazing ride. The 134mm-travel aluminum frame features a RockShox Monarch shock and a 140mm-travel Pike RC that’s ready to get rowdy on your favorite trails. WTB rims and Maxxis tires give you the traction and stability to stick that technical line. An 11-speed Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain shifts with precision and keeps weight and handlebar clutter to a minimum, while the matching Shimano brakes offer loads of stopping power. To complement the modern geometry of the Process, Kona spec’s a short stem and a wide 35mm handlebar for stable, controlled descending, as well as a KS dropper post so you can stay centered and loose while you shred.
