Expirience with the Kona Process 134 G3

Ludwig Döhl The brand Kona is part of the MTB industry's heritage. With the Process 134, Kona's developers live up to the brand's reputation. The bike is built tough and signals with its external cable routing: This is about riding fun, not technical gimmicks. Especially in extremely steep terrain, this combination makes for smooth handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Process 134. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. On climbs, other bikes in the under 2000 Euro present a little better performance than the Process 134. A shout out to Kona – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Kona Fully for in alpine terrain a benchmark in the price range under 2000 Euro. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
