Kona’s Process X platform gained a wide following as a hard-hitting and durable long-travel platform, but there was still a die-hard group who wanted an alloy version with the same capabilities.

All in, the Kona Process X CR is an excellent all-mountain bike. And it’s the nicest-looking mountain bike I’ve seen for a number of years.

The Process X CR is the longest-travel bike in Kona’s portfolio. We’ve tested it for you.
Suspension generates tons of traction
Composed
Short seat tube and long-travel dropper post ensure plenty of freedom of movement
Cables rattle against the frame
Rear suspension lacks support
Cumbersome in tight trail sections
Sep 2023
Same bruiser personality, in aluminum.

The Kona Process X and Process X DH bring a burly aluminum frame with 162mm travel to enduro, downhill and freeride with a lifetime warranty
Sep 2023
Ready for bike park or shuttle duty, the new Aluminum Process X models are Kona's first alloy FR bikes since the Operator and Process 165.

Ready for rowdy, the Kona Process X knows its place in this world.
Balanced and stable at speed, especially through rough terrain
Predictable suspension feel on trail
Easy suspension setup
Adjustable chainstay length, ability to run 27.5 rear wheel
The bike looks good!
Can be sluggish in less-than-aggressive terrain
Possible fit conflicts for riders in between sizes
Climbing prowess
Some underwhelming spec choices
Feb 2021 · Simon Stewart
The Kona Process X is the most Kona-esque bike we've seen in years. It's fast, burly and can take any downhill you put in front of it.
Unrivaled stability
Ultra supple, ground-hugging suspension
Smart spec
Smart geo-adjust choices
Mullet-ready setup
Lockout lever is necessary for climbing
Not a daily driver for most
