Expirience with the Kona Process 153 DL 29

Ludwig Döhl The design with 160 mm travel on the fork not only makes the Process 153 DL 29 a classic enduro, but also the perfect partner for rowdy trails. The flat 64,5 degree head tube angle of the Kona Process 153 DL 29 oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. 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. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
