The dragon slayer of our Process range. This is the bike for riders with a bent for the burl. Still capable and comfortable on the climbs, but turn that singletrack downwards—and make it nasty—and the Process 153 DL takes you to another level. A bike so radical our World Cup downhill team uses the bike to train on, and when tracks permit, even race.

“The bike felt like it was on rails.” - NSMB

Frame Features:

The industry-leading revolution in mountain-bike geometry started with the Process platform. The short stem for stiff and quick handling mated with lengthy reach numbers for a confidence-inspiring overall fit and long front center for stability at speed. Add short chainstays, to maintain maneuverability in technical situations, and a low BB for an in-the-bike feel. The lowest standover possible on all sizes, while short chainstays benefit cornering, jump-ability and overall bike stiffness.
