Description
Carbon Performance Without the Premium Price
The Kona Process X CR is built for riders who want maximum capability on demanding terrain without compromising value. Featuring a lightweight carbon frame with 162 mm of rear travel, the Process X CR delivers the strength, stiffness, and confidence needed for aggressive descents while remaining efficient enough for long climbs and all-day adventures.
With 170 mm of front travel from the Fox 38 Performance fork and a Fox Float X Performance Elite Trunnion rear shock, this bike is designed to absorb big hits, handle technical features, and inspire confidence when the trail gets rough. Despite its downhill-focused capability, the Process X CR maintains efficient pedalling characteristics, allowing riders to reach the top ready for another lap.
The carefully selected component package focuses performance where it matters most, featuring a Shimano SLX/XT 12-speed drivetrain, powerful Shimano hydraulic brakes, a reliable DT Swiss wheelset, and aggressive Maxxis tyre combination. The result is a bike that can charge downhill, climb efficiently, and handle whatever adventure comes next.
“I’ve had an absolute blast on this rig. For me, the Process X epitomizes what I enjoy in a bike. It can pedal when the going gets tough, it can play with the best of them, and boy, it can hold its own in a drag race.”
