ThePubSA Posted July 17, 2014 Share https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXVtiN3XbBU http://es.pinkbike.org/241/sprt/i/bigquotes.png Kona deserves praise for their willingness to shake up traditional mountain bike geometry, pushing the concept of long top tubes and short stems as far as they can. This deviation from the accepted norms has paid off, creating one very impressive ride, and there aren't too many bikes currently on the market in this category that can match the 153's blend of stability and maneuverability at speed. Don't let yourself get locked into the numbers game either - the 153 rides like it has more travel than it actually does, and riders who pass this bike over because they're searching for something with 160 or more millimeters of rear suspension are selling themselves short. Plus, with a top end fork and shock, wide bars, a short stem, and meaty tires, the 153 is shred-ready out of the box (although we would like to see a 1x11 offering added to the lineup). The Process 153 is what we'd consider to be a true all-mountain bike, one that's manageable on the climbs, and an extremely hard charger on the descents. - Mike Kazimer Iwan Kemp, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and (Deon) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePubSA Posted July 17, 2014 Share The Process 153 is a fiend for the downhills, with a downright devilish appetite for the gnarliest, steepest trails around, and as soon as gravity takes over Kona's geometry really starts making sense. In short, the Process bikes are all strong contenders for class winners. I don’t want to hand them back to Kona. There’s a lot of good bikes out there right now, but the Kona goes into the exclusive club where only great bikes party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePubSA Posted July 17, 2014 Share Luckily, the Process 153 DL is such an exciting, stable and confidence inspiring ride on the downs that any of those climbing grumbles are soon forgotten, and before you know it, you’re diving headlong into some of the most fear-inducing trails faster than you might have dared before.

Headshot Posted July 17, 2014 Share Konas new line up has been getting good reviews for about the last year... 1 article said the process had been one of the best am rigs they tested in a long time... Love the look of the Process 167 -must be the slackness, long fork and proper wheels - wonder how well it goes uphill though - must weigh a bit... That Yeti is very pretty but a rip off price. Gimme an old ali sb66 for much less... I think Kona has an SA importer - Pta if not mistaken - the 153 is expensive though...
