Expirience with the Kona Process 153 29

Ludwig Döhl The design with 160 mm travel on the fork not only makes the Process 153 29 a classic enduro, but also the perfect partner for rowdy trails. The combination of a 64,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Enduro of Kona, even if you ride fast. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. There are Enduro in the price under 4500 Euro that have more potential downhill. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
