Kona Dream Builds: Oli's Slopeduro Ready Process 134

This is my (Oli Middleditch) 2021 Process 134 AL, if I'm bored this is the bike I'll pick up to put a smile on my face. When I started working for Evo Cycles here in New Zealand, I wanted to get myself a trail bike and the Process 134 stuck out plain as day to me and it's been great to have the opportunity to get one. Short travel bikes are always the most fun to flick around on and this is the best of both worlds. Short and small enough to rip on the jumps and muck around, but enough travel to keep me out of trouble on the trails. For me, this bike is all about the details, from the 7-speed SRAM AXS to the bar spin-able brake hoses, topped off with my favourite Industry nine hydra hubs and a Gusset components Fat Jack saddle to show my past.

Oli's Kona Process 134

Oli has changed pretty much everything from the factory build, but what caught our eye the most was the 7-speed SRAM AXS drivetrain and Industry 9 / Spank wheels. It's one of the most unique drivetrain's we've ever seen on any Process.

Oli's Kona Process 134

Suspension wise Oli has opted for Marzocchi Bombers front and rear, a Z1 up front and a Bomber CR out the back. The rear shock is sporting an adjustable spring rate coil spring from Sprindex.

Utilizing a OneUp Components threaded EDC cap enables simple cable routing for bar spins. The cockpit is a Deity Ridgeline handlebar held in place with an Industry Nine A35 stem and stock FSA headset!

Oli's pride and joy, a Gusset components Fat Jack saddle.

The build is wrapped up with a set of Spank 350 wheels shod with Schwable tires, a Nobby Nic out the back and a Magic Mary up front.
