Kona Process 134 27.5 Suspension Bike 2022

Kona Process 134 27.5 Suspension Bike

The Kona Process 134 27.5″ is an agile, playful and stable full-suspension trail bike that is ideal for riding singletrack trails anywhere. It is engineered with an alloy frame and it features Kona’s beamer suspension platform giving it a superb blend of strength and control at low weight. This trail bike is at home on fast and steep technical descents while climbing efficiently thanks to minimal pedal-bob and grip-enhancing RockShox suspension setup. Kona has also fitted it with a Shimano Deore 1×11-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-50T cassette and powerful Alhonga 474 hydraulic disc brakes.

Shimano 11-Speed Drivetrain and RockShox Suspension

The Kona Process 134 27.5 Suspension Bike is the perfect gateway to the Kona dual suspension experience for riders of any size. Running on a smooth-as-butter Shimano Deore 11-speed drivetrain, it’s a reliable climber but it really comes alive on the descents and over rough terrain. Its RockShox suspension front and rear keep the ride comfy and the new Trans-X +RAD adjustable dropper post allows for finding the perfect seat height with ease.

Powerful and Versatile All-Terrain Performance

This is an excellent bike for someone looking to dip their toe into full-suspension mountain biking. It’s affordable and capable of riding all kinds of terrain. Front and rear thru-axles, air suspension, and long travel droppers—it has everything a rider needs to get started with a modern frame that is ready to rip right out of the box.

Strong, Durable and Lightweight Alloy Frame

Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminium alloys are used extensively throughout Kona’s fleet of mountain and road bikes. A tough, durable, light alloy, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of Kona’s 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, so they can fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application.

Progressive and Responsive Beamer Independent Suspension Platform

Built to be off-the-top progressive, Beamer Independent Suspension (Beamer IS) helps the bike to stay higher in the travel and recover from hits more quickly. The Operators are instilled with what our product managers like to call “pure shock movement”, whereby the shock is protected from side load. Designed to be highly tuneable and extremely durable, the Beamer IS is Kona’s version of greased lightning.

Technologies:

• Kona 6061 Aluminium: Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminium alloys are used extensively throughout Kona’s fleet of mountain and asphalt bicycles. A tough, durable, light alloy, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of Kona’s 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, so they can fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application
• Internal Headset: Bearing cups are pressed into the frame and are easily removable. An internal headset also reduces stack height, so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable, giving the rider the best fit possible
• Tapered Headtube: More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder, while providing confident steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup—maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed
• Tubeless Compatible Rims: Tubeless rims allow for tyres with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tyre pressure, which provides better tyre grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tyre systems
• 12x148mm Thru Axle: 12x142mm, 12×148 and 12×157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. For 2017, you’ll see the 12×148 Boost standard in the mix. Boost spacing provides more tyre clearance at the chainstay yoke, while the rear wheel is stiffer and more durable relative to a 12×142 thru-axle
• Beamer Independent Suspension Platform: Built to be off-the-top progressive, Beamer Independent Suspension helps the bike to stay higher in the travel and recover from hits more quickly. The Operators are instilled with what Kona product managers like to call “pure shock movement,” whereby the shock is protected from side load. Designed to be highly tuneable and extremely durable, the Beamer IS is Kona’s version of greased lightning
• 27.5″ (650b) Wheels: The benefits of the 27.5-inch wheel are simple: they roll over obstacles and track better than 26-inch wheels, but are more manoeuvrable and nimble than 29-inch ones

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
