2014 Kona Process

Sneak peak over on bikemag (only 29er in photos)
2014 Kona Process splits to three models

Saw these at the trail-head a few days ago. Briefly rode the Process 111 (basically a full suspension take on the Honzo/Yelli Screamy geo), and it seems fun. They all looked great.

i think matt slaven has been riding the 153 in the oregon enduro series.

PHeller · Jul 8, 2013

I'll be curious to watch the chainstay lengths on the 111, but more interested in the prices on the 153.

If I had to choose between a equal-riding Norco and Kona for the same price, I'd take the Kona.

Wow that thing looks like a beast. I like the compact front triangle, though as someone who prefers water bottles to a hydro pack I'd miss the bottle mounts. Small nit pick. Cant wait to see the geometry numbers

geolover · Jul 8, 2013

The chainstays of the 111 are less than 17".

PHeller · Jul 8, 2013

What was the front fork? 120mm?

geolover · Jul 8, 2013

I didn't ask...or notice. It looks like 120 to me though.

Release date for the new frames/bikes?

Process 153 via Pinkbike: LINKY

That's a lot of pivots/bearings/bushings for a single-pivot...
Also, why not bottle mounts? Plenty of space for them.

moefosho · Jul 9, 2013

I'd ride it

I like the no photos sticker

b-kul · Jul 9, 2013

bottle mounts are on the underside of the down tube.

I agree

probiscus · Jul 10, 2013

The green is ugly, wtb that raw finish of the prototype!!

Such a crazy amount of choices between this, Santa Cruz, Norco, Rocky, Intense... 2014 is going to be a wild year.

I want to see the 134mm bike. I want a long, slack short travel rig.
