Key Features:

KONA CARBON FRAME Crafted to be both lightweight and incredibly durable, the Process 153 CR's carbon frame is engineered for maximum performance. By strategically placing high-modulus fibers in key areas, Kona's designers ensure the frame delivers unmatched ride quality, strength, and durability, without compromising on weight.

INTERNAL HEADSET The internal headset design reduces stack height, allowing for greater adjustability of the stem and bars, which translates to a more tailored fit for every rider. The easily removable bearing cups also ensure straightforward maintenance and longevity.

TAPERED HEAD TUBE A robust tapered head tube enhances steering precision and balance, especially in rough terrain. The extra girth at the bottom distributes shock forces more effectively, prolonging headset life and eliminating brake shudder.

12x148 BOOST AXLE The 12x148 Boost rear axle standard provides a stiffer and more durable rear wheel setup. This enhances the bike's overall stability, allowing for quicker and more accurate positioning of the wheel within the frame. The wider spacing also offers improved tire clearance, crucial for aggressive trail riding.

BEAMER INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION Kona’s Beamer Independent Suspension is designed for off-the-top progressiveness, ensuring the bike stays higher in its travel for quicker recovery from hits. This system is highly tuneable, extremely durable, and delivers what Kona describes as “pure shock movement,” providing a plush ride even in the roughest conditions.
