Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Frame geometry

    2023 Kona Process 134 DL has 5 mm more reach than 2017 Kona Process 134 DL in the selected sizes.

    More reach puts the head-tube reference farther forward, not necessarily the hands.

  2. Frame geometry

    2023 Kona Process 134 DL has 15 mm more stack than 2017 Kona Process 134 DL in the selected sizes.

    More stack places the frame reference higher, not necessarily the handlebar.

  3. Handling

    2023 Kona Process 134 DL has a 1.5° slacker head-tube angle than 2017 Kona Process 134 DL in the selected sizes.

    Fork offset, tire size and wheelbase also affect steering; head angle alone is not a handling verdict.

  4. Gearing

    2023 Kona Process 134 DL has a 10% lower climbing ratio than 2017 Kona Process 134 DL.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

Geometry overlay

Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

2017 Kona Process 134 DLSize M · 30T · 11–42T · 11-speed
Lowest0.71:1Highest2.73:1Total range382%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear5.3 mphHighest gear20.2 mph

Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear5.0 mphHighest gear22.8 mph

Rear tire: 29×2.4.

How it works

Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
