Key differences

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

  1. Frame geometry

    2017 Kona Process 134 DL has 15 mm more reach than 2016 Kona Process 134 DL in the selected sizes.

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

  2. Handling

    2017 Kona Process 134 DL has a 1.0° slacker head-tube angle than 2016 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.

  3. Gearing

    2017 Kona Process 134 DL has a 6% lower climbing ratio than 2016 Kona Process 134 DL.

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

Selected-size geometry

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.

Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear5.3 mphHighest gear20.2 mph

Rear tire: 27.5×2.3.

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.
