Watch Kona USA shredders Angi Weston and Becca Margulies take to the muddy trails of Bellingham, Washington's Galbraith Mountain on the all-new Process 134SE. Since both smaller and lighter riders have told us they love the low standover of our Process platform, we decided to take it one step further by designing a bike specifically tailored to women, tweens and smaller dudes (under 5'4"). By adding an XS size and tuning the parts kit the all-new Process 134 SE offers category-leading standover (XS fits people under 5'1") on a proven mountain-bike design that can tackle anything the off-road world can throw at it.

So really, Kona has gone out of their way to offer a bike in each wheel size, a bike in each travel category, a bike specifically for shorter riders, as well as a budget version. Pretty awesome.
Wheel size more about preference than rider height.
The X1 1000 crank means no chainring below 30 teeth. Smaller, lighter riders often need a 28 or a 26 in the alpine.

Ok but on wich track?
Spec it with 26" wheels and then I'll believe it's for shorter people.
