CR, or AL

Hello, I have just sold my last bike and I am now looking for my next. I previously had a Vitus Mythique VRX, sold that. Then got a Nukeproof Dissent. Now that I have sold that, I am looking to go in between the Trail and DH bike that I had and get an enduro bike.

I live relatively close to loads of bike parks, and very close to one of the largest trail centre/bike parks. Hence the reason I would like an enduro.

Having said all of this, I have decided to look into the Kona range, specifically their new Process 153 G3 range.

I have narrowed it down to the Process 153 CR, or the Process 153 DL. The CR has a great spec and I am really liking the look of it, however I am not sure if I completely trust carbon – despite all of the testing etc. And whilst I do like the aluminium deluxe, it doesn’t have the same effect.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on which you would choose based on the spec, and your experience with carbon v aluminium.

Cheers guys, the link that’s attached shows all the process range. (Greenish one is the aluminium and the light blue is the carbon)
