In high-speed situations, a perceived downside of short chainstays is that wheelbase is reduced and stability is negatively affected. Kona countered this effect by lengthening the toptube, increasing the overall wheelbase. The result is stability at speed without compromising low- speed handling.

PROCESS PLATFORM FRAME FEATURES
• Tapered headtube
• ISCG05 tabs
• Internally routed derailleur cables.
• Standard- and stealth-style dropper post cable routing
• Seat tube geometry designed around dropper seatposts
• Shimano Pressfit 92 bottom bracket
• Hollow forged tooling: All of the forged parts have been pocketed out from the inside; this cleans up the overall appearance and keeps these cavities from filling with rocks, muck and sweet loam
