2026 Ibis Oso S vs 2025 Kona Process

The XL is the Kona Process size closest to your L Ibis Oso S. We match frame stack and reach. This is a geometry comparison, not a fit recommendation; stem, spacers, handlebars and saddle setup also affect your riding position.

What changes on the Kona Process

Compared with the Ibis Oso S in L, the Kona Process in XL places the top of the head tube 9 mm lower and about as far forward, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 38 mm shorter, which can contribute to quicker direction changes.
