The Good:

Eats up the descents & climbs surprisingly well

The Bad:

Its a bit porky! Motion Control (MoCo) damper in Yari is spiky.

Overall Review: Having had a 153 650b since 2014 I was keen tp try the 153 29, & my comparison here is pretty much with that. After 4 months, some riding & racing all over the UK Im loving it. Its not light, 15.5 kg with pedals for my medium! Fortunately shock lockout & steep seatangle means it ...

Introducing the All-New Kona Satori (press release)

Posted by bturman on 2/20/2018 12:00 AM

Legend is a term that should never be thrown about lightly, but in the case of Kona’s original Wah Wah flat pedal it’s not a stretch to invoke the L word to cement its status among the pedals that have left their mark in the history books of the sport – not to mention on a shin or two! When the ...

The original Process 153 was highly regarded at the time of its release. The bike's progressive geometry, lively suspension, and unflappable reliability quickly built a following and also seemed to influence how other brands approached the geometry and sizing of their own products.

The Good:

Beautiful lines, simple, reliable, great value, grippy as hell, great geometry

The Bad:

the dropper post and the fork

Overall Review: The decision I chose to get this bike after soul searching and some rigorous online searching for the best full suspension bike on the market. I was getting really sick of the indecision and all the uncertainty with getting a new full sus bike. It seems that of the last 5 full sus bikes that I...
