RockShox Pike RCT3 Solo Air 160mm QR15 Tapered

The dragon slayer of our Process range. This is the bike for riders with a bent for the burl. Still capable and comfortable on the climbs, but turn that singletrack downwards—and make it nasty—and the Process 153 DL takes you to another level. A bike so radical our World Cup downhill team uses the bike to train on, and when tracks permit, even race.
“The bike felt like it was on rails.” - NSMB
Frame Features:
The industry-leading revolution in mountain-bike geometry started with the Process platform. The short stem for stiff and quick handling mated with lengthy reach numbers for a confidence-inspiring overall fit and long front center for stability at speed. Add short chainstays, to maintain maneuverability in technical situations, and a low BB for an in-the-bike feel. The lowest standover possible on all sizes, while short chainstays benefit cornering, jump-ability and overall bike stiffness.

The Kona Process 153 is celebrated for its playful yet aggressive personality, outstanding standover clearance, and smart component choices, making it a formidable enduro bike. Its suspension performance, particularly the Rocker Independent Suspension system, is noted for being supple and responsive, excelling in downhill and technical terrains. However, it faces criticism for being heavier than some competitors and less efficient on climbs.
