Kona Process X CR, grigio

If the Undertaker rode a mountain bike, he would undoubtedly ride the Process X CD. The Process X is a monster on the trails that has nothing else in mind but to tear riders apart on the most technical terrain. The carbon frame is equipped with the brand new Fox 38 fork with 170 mm travel and a Fox Float X shock with 161 mm travel. A Shimano drivetrain ensures maximum range when it comes to the connecting stages between trails. Kona has fitted some extremely chunky Maxxis EXO+ casing tyres - Assegai at the front and Minion DHR II at the rear - for the rough stuff. The Shimano Deore brakes provide mega stopping power, but who needs brakes when you're on the road so much?

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, Kona 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 the manufacturer to ensure there is no compromise to the desired ride characteristics, durability and – finally – weight stipulations that they 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 tires with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tire pressure, which provides better tire grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tire systems.

Beamer independent 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.
