The Process 246 is the natural next step for young riders leveling up, carrying the same DNA that made Kona's Process line award-winning. Built to optimize performance for smaller bodies without compromising capability, it’s everything we could want in a young shredder’s bike.

The Process 246 is highly tunable, whether you’re adjusting for rider size, style, or terrain. Named for its ability to run matching 26” wheels or a mixed 26”/24”, it rolls confidently through all terrain.

Kona spec’d brakes with adjustable throw so smaller hands can reach levers comfortably and brake with precision. Add intuitive suspension, great standover, and an efficient pedaling platform, and you’ve got a bike built to take youngsters from playful laps to serious lines.

From backyard jump lines to their first real descent—they’ll clear it, send it, and ask to ride it again.
