Red Dawn: Meet Kona's new Team Issue Process 153 CR DL 29 1

For the 2019 race season, we wanted to do something a little special for our Gravity team riders and their race bikes. Inspired in part by major team sponsor RockShox's incredibly fast looking (and performing) Lyrik lowers, we'd like to present you with the Team Issue Kona Process 153 CR DL. 

Connor Fearon, Miranda Miller, Rhys Verner, and Shelly Flood will be shredding these bikes at EWS races and at select enduro events this season, built up as you see here with a plethora of parts from our fabulous 2019 team partners.  

The Kona Gravity Team Process bikes are fully custom built from the ground up and feature a full suspension setup from RockShox, drivetrain and brakes from SRAM, rims from Canadian company WeAreOne, hubs and headset from Chris King and tires from Maxxis. The cockpit combines parts from Deity, OneUP and ODI and the build is rounded out with pedals from HT and tire inserts from Cush Core.

Miranda Miller and Rhys Verner will be taking the new Team Issue Process Bikes for their maiden race outings this weekend at the Tennessee National, an EWS qualifying event based out of the Windrock Bike Park.
