Review: The Kona Process 134 CR DL is a Comfort Zone Companion

Apr 2025 · Jessie-May Morgan

The third gen Process 134 is a fine companion for flattering, flowing singletrack.

Highs
  • Loves a flow trail

  • Quiet

  • More affordable than many of its direct competitors

Lows
  • Seat tube likely to feel very slack for taller riders

  • On the heavier end of the spectrum for a carbon trail bike

  • Not the most proficient climber

  • Spec is a little outdated, likely owing to Kona's sale and inventory issues

Lows

  • Cumbersome in tight trail sections
