Kona Process 153 27.5
Details
There’s a decent chance we’ll be caught in a zombie apocalypse in our lifetime. What’s your escape vehicle? The Process 153 would be a solid choice if you live in a place with unforgiving terrain. It’s an awesome build at a wallet-friendly price. With 160mm of RockShox Yari travel up front and a Deluxe Select Plus shock in the rear, the ride is plush and smooth. Well accompanied by SRAM Guide T hydraulic disc brakes, a dropper post, and SRAM’s NX/SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, the Process is one sweet build for the buck.
- Kona 6061 Aluminum Butted frame
- RockShox Yari RC Motion Control DebonAir 160mm fork
- RockShox Deluxe Select Plus rear shock
- SRAM NX/SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain
- WTB ST i29 TCS 27.5" rims on Formula hubs
- Trans-X dropper seatpost
A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.
Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.
Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
