Eddie Reynolds has built some very dreamy Kona’s in the past but for 2023 with his move to the Kona Factory Team and a whole host of new sponsors, he’s gone and leveled up his Dream Build game. Over the next week, we thought we’d introduce you to Eddie’s quiver of Kona’s, and what better bike to kick it off than the Process 153 27.5 he rode in his introduction to the Factory Team video that dropped this week?
For 2023 Shimano has recognized the talent lurking in this low-key SoCal ripper and signed up with full support. Eddie’s playful 153 is driven by Shimano XT cranks…
…and an XT rear derailleur and chain.
Marzocchi has joined the party too with a very sweet Bomber Z1 up front…
… and a trunnion-mounted Bomber Air out the back.
Stopping power comes in the form of Shimano’s always-reliable XT brake levers…
… and matching XT calipers and Shimano Ice Tech rotors
A Fox’s Transfer 175 mm dropper post is there for the climb back up.
Eddie is sporting a full Deity cockpit with a Copperhead stem holding a Black Label Race Point Bar in place. The grips are Knuckledusters.
The bike is rolling on ENVE M7 carbon rims laced to Midnight colored Chris King centerlock ISO hubs, the wheels are shod in pair of Maxxis Minion DHF’s front and rear.
