2014 Kona Process: Bike Magazine's Exclusive "Blueprint" R&D Story
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
In 2013, Kona debuted their Process all-mountain model, which earned rave reviews. For 2014, it's gone. Tossed out. Replaced. Which begs the question: Why? We went to Kona looking for answers. What we learned was surprising. Kona replaced that model with three new lines of Process bikes--some in 29er and some in 650b--all of them bearing a very different frame than last year's model. Here's they story of why that's the case. More importantly, this is a look inside the mindset of this iconoclastic brand from the Pacific Northwest. We've also logged more than 600 miles of riding and 150,000 feet of descending on three early-issue Process bikes. What do we think of the new bike? Check out the review on Bikemag.com

This is GREAT!! They are making a bike that works !! Not a bike that is the "new thing". Which I love. They are not hear for the tricks.
