2023 Kona Process 153 DL | Ride Impressions & Review

Welcome to my first riding impressions video! Today I will be featuring the 2023 Kona Process 153 DL. This alloy offering from Kona Bikes has quite the character, and I went ahead and did a quick tour at Hulda Crooks to put it to the test. I will be doing a much more tech heavy review in the next week going over all of the numbers, but I thought it would be cool to bring you along and hear some of my impressions in real time.

2023 Kona Process 153 DL

What Kona Says

"The perfect Goldilocks bike between the Process 134 and Process X, the Process 153 hits all the sweet spots at a very budget-friendly price. The 160/153mm front and rear suspension gives you unwavering reliability on tricky descents while still climbing with ease. It’s spec’d with everything you need and nothing you don’t. Strong brakes, dependable suspension and grippy tires equal the perfect all-around package."
