The Beta Tests: Kona Process 134 CR/DL

Jul 2021 · Ryan Palmer

Despite being released way back in 2019, the Process 134 is holding its own the trail category, ranking highly in all three testers' books.

Highs
  • Supportive, efficient climber

  • Lively, responsive descender

  • Stout, laterally stiff chassis

  • I mean, just look at it

Lows
  • A little expensive

  • Standard-offset forks are becoming uncommon

First Ride: Kona Process 134 29

Aug 2019

Kona's Process 111 was a special bike. It was one of, if not the first, North Shore-ready short travel 29ers available. We've been anxiously awaiting a new version of the beloved 111 for some time now, and, well, it's finally here. Sort of.

Kona Process 134 CR DL 29: first ride review - MBR

Aug 2019 · Alan Muldoon

For the latest Kona Process 134, Kona has combined the best parts of two platforms to produce a trail bike that fast, fun and ridiculously capable.

Highs
  • Punches well above its weight in every department: silent, fast, capable and efficient.

  • Sizing and geometry are on the money too.

Lows
  • Not the best value for money.
