Kona Process 153 (2015)

Mountain Biking UK called the Process 153, “a blast to ride,” a sentiment that echoed through the mountain bike world last season. The versatility of 27.5” wheels allows for exceptional pedal efficiency and control, while 153mm of Rocker Independent Suspension and a 160mm RockShox Pike fork keep you pinned on the descents. The linkage is laterally stiff and plush thanks to oversized pivots and bearings, while the frame geometry features a low BB, a slack 66.5-degree headtube angle, 40mm stem and the shortest chainstays possible for a nimble, responsive ride. New for 2015, the seatpost is upgraded to KS Lev Integra, while the rear derailleur is upgraded to SRAM X9 Type 2.
