01
Origin
Kona was founded 1988 in Vancouver BC by Dan Gerhard and Jacob Heilbron, working with rider Joe Murray on steel hardtails. The Process line evolved as their full-suspension trail platform. The 134 sits as the 'sensible Process' — short-travel descender that punches above its travel number. 2025 G3 update kept the linkage-driven single-pivot but refreshed geometry (480mm reach in L, 435mm chainstays across sizes).

Specifications
- Frame
- Base model: Kona 6061 butted aluminum, 134mm travel. CR / CR DL: full carbon front and rear triangle (carbon adds down-tube storage compartment). All G3 frames use a linkage-driven single-pivot with a flip chip at the seatstay/rocker that keeps geometry constant between 29" and 27.5" rear wheels.

The verdict
+Strengths
- Excellent big-hit capability for only 134mm of rear travel — composed on rough, technical descents
- Highly versatile 'do-everything' trail bike that works across a wide range of terrain
- Modern-but-approachable geometry (65.5° HA, 435mm chainstays) that is easy to get along with
- Mixed-wheel (mullet) compatibility via flip chip with no geometry penalty
- Strong value and a clear alloy-to-carbon build ladder; good spec for the money
−Weaknesses
- Lacks a distinctive personality — its jack-of-all-trades nature means it rarely feels exciting or specialized
- Seat tube angle could be steeper, especially on larger sizes, for the steepest seated climbs
- Suspension feels firm on moderate climbs — efficient but less plush than some rivals at low speed
- Carbon CR/DL build is pricey ($5,499) for a 134mm trail bike; you pay for the chassis more than flash parts
- Base alloy build's 10-speed Microshift drivetrain and Recon fork are budget-tier and the first things owners tend to upgrade
