The Lyrik fork and Super Deluxe shock are worthwhile inclusions for riders spending time on rougher trails, while the four-piston brakes and Maxxis tyres add control when things get steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the shorter-travel Process 134 DL, the 153 DL is the one we would look at for more demanding descents and riders who like a bit more suspension underneath them. The trade-off is that it is more bike than you need for smoother trails, and it will not feel as lively on a long climb as a lighter, shorter-travel option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Christchurch riders looking to take on rougher Port Hills tracks or head further afield for the weekend, the Process 153 DL is a capable package with plenty of room to progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrame and Suspension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kona 6061 butted aluminium, 153 mm rear travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear shock:\u003c\/strong\u003e RockShox Super Deluxe Select Plus Trunnion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork:\u003c\/strong\u003e RockShox Lyrik Select RC, Charger damping, DebonAir, 160 mm travel, tapered steerer, 110 mm spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset:\u003c\/strong\u003e FSA Orbit 1.5 E ZS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShifter:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM NX Eagle, 12-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM GX Eagle, 12-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM NX Eagle DUB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainring:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM X-Sync Eagle, 32T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCassette:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM NX Eagle, 11–50T, 12-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM SX Eagle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM DUB PF92\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes and levers:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM G2 RS hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM CenterLine, 200 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM CenterLine, 180 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheels and Tyres\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRims:\u003c\/strong\u003e WTB KOM Trail i30 TCS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront hub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formula, 15 × 110 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear hub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formula, 12 × 148 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpokes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black stainless steel, 14-gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront tyre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxxis Assegai, 29 × 2.5-inch WT, EXO, TR, 3C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear tyre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxxis Minion DHR II, 29 × 2.4-inch WT, EXO, TR, 3C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCockpit and Contact Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kona XC\/BC 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kona XC\/BC 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kona Key Grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e TranzX Dropper +RAD, internally routed, 31.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat clamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kona Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e WTB Volt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29-inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e M, L and XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin King Crimson with Gloss Crimson decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelect your preferred size to check current availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right size depends on your height, body proportions, experience and preferred handling.
