Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know about your Kona Process X HD
What frame material does the Process X DH use?
The bike features a robust Kona 6061 Aluminum Butted frame with 162mm of rear wheel travel. This makes it incredibly durable for high-impact park riding, crashes, and shuttle runs compared to carbon alternatives.
What kind of drivetrain does it have?
To keep things durable and simple for bike park use, Kona runs a specialized SRAM 9-speed DH drivetrain (combining a SRAM X7 rear derailleur, X5 shifter, and a tight 11-34t cassette). It is paired with an MRP chainguide and bash guardto prevent chain drops and protect your chainring from rocks.
Does it come with a dropper post?
No. True to its pure downhill pedigree, the Process X DH comes with a rigid Kona OB 31.6mm seatpost. This is a dedicated gravity bike, meaning it is meant for uplifts, shuttles, and chairlifts rather than pedaling uphill.
What brakes are installed?
It features SRAM Guide T hydraulic disc brakes paired with massive 200mm SRAM Centerline rotors on both the front and rear. This ensures consistent, powerful fade-free braking power when you are flying down steep terrain.
How do I choose the right size?
The Process X DH is available in sizes Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Downhill bikes are highly dependent on "Reach" (how roomy the bike feels when standing on the pedals).
- Small: Best for riders ~5'0" to 5'4"
- Medium: Best for riders ~5'4" to 5'8"
- Large: Best for riders ~5'8" to 6'1"
- XL: Best for riders 6'1" and taller
