What Kona Says
"The perfect Goldilocks bike between the Process 134 and Process X, the Process 153 hits all the sweet spots at a very budget-friendly price. The 160/153mm front and rear suspension gives you unwavering reliability on tricky descents while still climbing with ease. It’s spec’d with everything you need and nothing you don’t. Strong brakes, dependable suspension and grippy tires equal the perfect all-around package."

Just got it for myself and my wife. Great deal now from Kona - buy one get one free! Can't wait to test those. First full suspension bikes. Thanks for the review.
Right on! Enjoy!
That deal is bezerk. They don't sell in Japan anymore so far as I know. Otherwise I'd be very tempted. Kona are solid.
I like this set up!
Thank you hottie.
Nice review, thank you. IMHO it deserves more views. If I may give some feedback, you include the geometry figures in the description and they're easy to find elsewhere too... I didn't need them read out again. Your commentary and opinion though, was useful, for instance on the chain stay length of the different sizes.
Thank you for your feedback. It's one of those things that if I don't include it I'll get called out for it too. But since it is my first comprehensive review I will be making changes for the second one. 👍🏼
Great video. Turn the “Lo-Fi” music down while talking please 🙏🏼 it should nt be as loud as the important details im trying to retain. Sincerely a ADHD Fan😂
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate your honest review. I'm looking at your trails though. Very smooth. Difficult to see why you'd ride so much bike on them. I doubt you can truly review this bike on the trails that appear in this video.
As mentioned in the review I tested in many different locations with much much more chunky terrain at full speeds, as well as high speed DH shuttle trails. Trust me, it got put through the paces.
@@SingleTrackSurgeon Good stuff. Wish I had the skills (and youth) to ride as well as you.
Good review..This bike is at home on snappy, flowy, tight trails..with lots of climbs..Its ok on bike parks and DH and does pretty well but not the best.
I would agree with that assessment 👍🏼
On point with that assessment!
Lame video. At least have the rig, in front of you. Or in the background. Or on the table. Or on the wall. The video is more like 16 minutes advertising...you. Not the product.
I'm sorry you felt that way. I put a lot of hard work into describing all of the stats to help a consumer make the right decision on if this is the right bike for them.
