Designed with Kona's renowned attention to detail, this frame offers the ideal blend of durability, stiffness, and responsiveness, ensuring that you can build the bike of your dreams for any terrain. Key Features: Kona 6061 Aluminum Frame : The Process 134 DL 29 frame is constructed from Konas 6061 Aluminum, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The material is butted and formed to optimize wall thickness, providing strength where needed and reducing weight where possible. This creates a frame thats both durable and lightweight, capable of handling tough trails while keeping the ride nimble and responsive. Beamer Independent Suspension System : The frame incorporates the Beamer Independent Suspension system, which is designed to offer progressive suspension performance. This system helps the bike maintain a higher position in its travel, allowing for quicker recovery from impacts. The design protects the shock from side loads, enhancing durability and ensuring consistent, smooth performance across various terrains. Internal Headset : The Process 134 DL 29 frame features an internal headset design. The bearing cups are pressed directly into the frame, which reduces stack height, allowing for greater adjustability in stem and bar positions. This design provides a cleaner look and helps optimize rider fit and comfort. Tapered Head Tube : The tapered head tube on the frame is wider at the bottom, which better distributes shock forces and prolongs the life of the headset bearings. The triangular shape of the head tube provides additional strength, improving steering precision and control, especially in rough or technical terrain. 12x148mm Boost Axle : This frame utilizes the 12x148mm Boost rear axle standard, which provides increased stiffness and durability for the rear wheel. Boost spacing also allows for better tire clearance, enabling you to run wider tires for improved traction and control, making it ideal for aggressive trail riding. Wheel Compatibility : The frame is designed to accommodate 29 wheels, offering the benefits of improved rollover and speed maintenance over rough terrain. It is also compatible with modern, wide rims, making it suitable for tubeless setups to enhance grip and reduce the risk of punctures.
