News: Kona 2015 – New Process 167 & Process 134 SE

While the official release of the 2015 Kona line-up is still a week up, we had the chance to have a look on the new models of the Canadian cult-brand already. In addition to an special edition of the Process 134 for smaller and lighter riders, the all-new Process 167 bikepark-bike/superenduro is the main Highlight.
Kona Process 167 2015

The Kona Process 167 has – the name suggests it already – 167 millimeter of travel at the rear and is replacing the successful bikepark freerider Entourage. Despite it’s made for shredding in bikeparks, Kona claims that it still pedals well and is the perfect bike for gravity-oriented enduro races like the Magavalanche. Kona uses very short chainstays (only 415 millimeter) and sticks to 26″ wheels. In combination with the 65 degree head angle and the long top tube, the Process 167 aims to combine extreme agility with stable handling characteristics – a concept, that made its predecessor an incredible fun bike.

The Process 167 will be available for 4499 Euro – for this money you’ll get a gravity-oriented but still very versatile bike. Framekits will not be available.
Kona Process 134 SE 2015

The SE version of the Process 134 is made for youngsters and small people, coming with an shorter geometry, smaller sizes and a lightweight spec. The bike will be available in three different frame sizes from XS to M. Prices are not unveiled yet.
