Your weekends never saw this coming. The base 153 is like a best friend and trusty pickup truck rolled into one – a rugged aluminum shred machine built to slay every adventure you put in front of it and still leave room in your life for things like food and rent. It runs the same telepathically awesome geometry as all the other Process 153 models, but utilizes carefully thought out components that get the job done without any bragging and without breaking the bank. Fully featured like its big siblings with flip-chip mullet compatibility, the 153 is your ticket to ride. Entry level? More like gateway drug…
