Newly Released Bikes General

Because it's ugly?

.... and dirty, overweight and makes a constant groaning noise whenever you ride it.

Been waiting on this too but I've gotten impatient and now going with the new Hightower

Where's the 111 first?! I cannot believe they haven't re-released that bike yet, it was almost genesis for that type of short travel 29er fun bag, and it's absence is painfully noted.

But 134mm is the new 111mm, isn't it? I am interested in both of those models TBH. 111 would be more fun on the usual trails but 134 would be more versatile for my use.

Funny if they design a whole new frame around keeping the exact number of mm of travel as the previous model to keep the name going !

You should throw your leg over a Nicolai.

I'd love to. But never had the chance.

That and a Pole are on my list of wants to have a pedal on.

Don't think its coming out according to a Kona rumours thread on another website. Hei Hei and 134 are it.

mtbr Kona section. Could be just shit talking, but a couple posts seem to suggest they’ve seen what’s coming...

Would ride. I’d probably like this more than the long travel one. 5/7 would ride

I’m waiting for the Yeti SB110.

You talk about the 111 like you've ridden one have you?

The Process 111 is such a funny beast, on MTBR there is a bunch of people who are unbelievably vocal about wanting it back.

If the thing sold, it would still be here.

Details on the new 134 will drop any minute now, but it comes in 27.5 & 29 in both alloy and carbon.

The Aussie dealers are at the official launch in Squamish as we speak

 

[SF Trailboy]

There is a new 111 or two floating around on bike exchange

I have never ridden one. I have never even sat on one. I haven't even touched one.
I wasn't aware you had to ride every bike that had historical significance to comment on it.

The short travel, burly (non-XC) 29er is kind of a massively booming market at the moment (SB110, Tallboy, Optic, Fuel EX and Top Fuel, Stumpy ST, META TR, Phantom, Trail 429, Ripley, etc. etc. etc.), and Kona were in that fight early with the 111. The fact that in spite of the popularity of the category, they have not yet moved it to their new platform is a painfully noted absence from both a sales perspective, and that it was largely a movement they started.

You missed one, Nicolai G13. But yeah I'm well aware of the short travel 29ers, hell I've even ridden a couple on your list fantastic bikes for most rides!
