Summary
The Kona Process X is a robust enduro bike designed for aggressive riding, offering 161mm of rear travel and a 170mm fork, with options for a mullet setup. It excels in stability and descending performance, particularly on rough terrain, but may require a lockout lever for efficient climbing. The bike's geometry and suspension are praised for their adaptability and comfort, though some components may need upgrading for high-speed demands.

Kona's biggest enduro-style bruiser gets a winter of beat downs on the terrain it was designed for...

Ready for rowdy, the Kona Process X knows its place in this world.

Possible fit conflicts for riders in between sizes
Climbing prowess
Some underwhelming spec choices

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.

The Process X has a big presence on the trail... It's happiest at higher speeds, and on terrain where there's room to let it run.
Chainstay adjustments make noticeable difference
Reasonable weight considering capabilities
Mullet compatible, plenty of room for long dropper posts
May be too long and slack to be enjoyable on more moderate terrain
There are only two complete models, and neither one is inexpensive
Some riders may want more support from Super Deluxe shock

The Kona Honzo ESD stretches things way out for the slackest, wildest, and most capable steel Kona hardtail yet.
