Expirience with the Kona PROCESS X

Ludwig Döhl With the 170 fork and stylish carbon frame, the PROCESS X is the big brother of the Process 153. With its geometry, the Kona is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Enduro von Kona. For 5299 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
