Kona Process X 2022 Bike

The all-new Process X is coming in hot! This gravity-hungry machine features 170mm of front and 161mm of rear travel.
With its full carbon frame, an adjustable wheelbase, and the ability to run a 29” or 27.5” rear wheel, the Process X
can be customized to the perfect fit. A Shimano XT drivetrain keeps the shifting smooth while ultra-powerful four
piston Shimano Deore brakes with 203mm rotors keep the speed in check. When you’re ready to rip, a Fox 38
Performance fork and Performance Elite DPX2 rear shock provide plush suspension. Chunky trails are no match for the
front Maxxis Assegai EXO+ TR 3C and rear Minion DHR II EXO+ TR 3C tyres.

Features

Kona Carbon

Designed to be lightweight and built to demanding standards. Carbon fiber has long been praised for its weight and
strength, but rather than chase grams, we place their efforts on the performance that is possible when the right
high-modulus fibers are in the right places. their designers work very closely with their manufacturer to ensure
there
is no compromise to the desired ride characteristics, durability and – finally – weight stipulations that we expect
from their bikes.

Internal Headset

Bearing cups are actually 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 Head Tube

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.

12 x 148mm Axle

12 x 142mm, 12 x 148 and 12 x 157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona 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 x 148 Boost standard in the mix. Boost spacing provides more tire clearance at the chainstay yoke,
while the rear wheel is stiffer and more durable relative to a 12 x 142 thru-axle.

Beamer Independant Suspension

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 their 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 their version of greased lightning.
