Versatile on a wide range of terrain
Lively and efficient ride
Modern geometry and well-balanced suspension
Boutique-level attention to detail
Playful yet stable handling
A little expensive
Rear end may stiffen under heavy braking
Low BB height requires caution on technical climbs
Some models may have underpowered brakes
The Process 134 has a lively, energetic feel under power, and it’s by far the most pedal-efficient Process Kona has ever made.
BetaThe mix of agility, efficiency, and trustworthy descending make the Process 134 a perfect do-everything steed that feels at home on a wide range of terrain.
BetaThe Kona is a really welcome slice of live wire insolence.
Bike PerfectA bike that climbs this well should be expected to have some compromise on the descent – maybe nervous in this or that terrain, or perhaps scary on the steeps? No, not the Process 134.

Can Kona’s flagship mid-travel twenty niner MTB mix efficient climbing with maximum tech terrain enjoyment?
Light, stiff and lively carbon frame
Agile geometry
Really sorted mid-travel suspension
Loves manuals and side knob abuse
29 or 27.5in wheeled versions
No internal storage
Press fit bottom bracket
Peer price bikes often have carbon wheels

The least expensive Process needs a serious stopping upgrade to unleash its full potential.
For a 35lb 29er, the 134 is relatively nimble and easy to toss around
Great suspension performance
There are far better climbers
Handling felt unbalanced, nervous on loose trails
Toss the Alhonga brakes before you get tossed

Despite being released way back in 2019, the Process 134 is holding its own the trail category, ranking highly in all three testers' books.
Supportive, efficient climber
Lively, responsive descender
Stout, laterally stiff chassis
I mean, just look at it
A little expensive
Standard-offset forks are becoming uncommon
Mar 2021 · Robin Weaver
This versatile all-rounder isn’t afraid of being ridden fast
Balanced suspension feel
Geometry balances stability and agility well
Happy lapping up the miles or hammering downhill
Compact rear end may not suit taller riders on the larger frame sizes
Expensive compared to some of the competition

Mediocre fork specification
Not the fastest climber

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.
