The Process 153 SE 29 G2 is an aluminium 29er built for riders who want proper enduro capability without a premium price. A 160mm RockShox Yari fork and 153mm of rear travel give you the support to hit steep, rough descents with confidence, and the big wheels roll over roots and rocks that would hang up a smaller-wheeled bike.

The geometry is modern without being extreme. A 64.5° head angle and 625mm stack on the size L keep the front end calm when the trail points down, while a 76.7° seat angle puts you in a good position to winch back up. Kona has always favoured short back ends, and the 435mm chainstays on every size mean this 29er still turns in quickly and pops off lips rather than feeling like a barge.

The SE build puts the money where it counts. The Yari RC fork and Deluxe Select+ shock handle the suspension, SRAM DB8 four-piston brakes on 200/180mm rotors provide the stopping, and a Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II pairing on WTB i30 tubeless-ready rims provides the grip. Gearing comes from a 10-speed microSHIFT Advent X drivetrain with an 11-48t cassette and 30t chainring, and a TranzX internal dropper is fitted as standard.
