Kona Remote 160 CR 29 - 400wH

Every now & then a bike comes along that just drops your jaw. Your friends’ eyes widen when they see you on it. You can’t quite explain it, but you feel instantly connected to this new shred mate. What is it about this bike? The balance? The way it stays planted while devouring everything in its path? The unmatched responsiveness and pop over roots, rocks, and lips? Or that audible BRAAP in corners? Maybe it’s the confidence it builds—fast—as you zip up climbs. It’s definitely all of the above. Careful now, a bike like this might tempt you to throw caution to the wind: ride everything, do nothing else. Eat, sleep, ride, repeat.

The Remote 160 CR is that bike. It rides like your carbon Process 153—with an engine that kicks like a mechanical horse. Its sleek carbon frame features a purposefully low center of gravity. The Bosch SX system is silky smooth, and the PowerMore range extender hugs the motor to keep weight balanced. The SX system adapts to your ride, while the flip chip lets you go MX today or match wheel sizes tomorrow. Saddle up. Ride it once—good luck going back.

"You want to ride it because it’s the funnest bike in your garage – motor or not!"

• Game changing ride

  The Remote 160 CR is a game-changer. The first ride has that “where has this been all my life?” feeling—like getting indoor plumbing for the first time. Sure, there’s nothing like squatting in the moss every once in a while… but once you’vehad a seat warmed bidet, you’re gonna opt for it.

• Signature Process characteristics

  All the perks of a motor onboard, and it still carries the signature Process ride characteristics: intuitive and playful when you want to move the bike around, yet stable and confidence-inspiring when the trail gets rough.

• Low center of gravity for noticeable traction

  Better climbing, better descending—it all comes from traction and is the first thing riders notice. The Remote grips hard on the way up and feels just as composed on the way down. We were intentional about battery placement, positioning it as low as possible to keep the center of gravity planted. Pair that with slightly lengthened chainstays for added stability, and the result is a bike that stays calm and predictable when things get steep.

• Maneuverability where you want it

  Mixed wheel size capability with our Match or Mix flip chip.

  All of it comes together in a ride that feels perfectly balanced, with smooth, natural power delivery that enhances the trail rather than overpowering it.

• Natural Ride Feel

  The Remote 160 CR with the Bosch SX system is the e-bike for purists—intuitive, responsive, and never overwhelming. It delivers a ride character that feels natural on the trail, blending seamlessly with the handling and geometry riders expect from a Kona.

• Lightweight System

  One of the lightest systems on the market, the Bosch SX platform keeps overall bike weight low while maintaining durability and capability. The result is a complete build that tips the scales at just over 20.8kg / 45.9lb, keeping the bike agile, playful, and easy to maneuver across technical terrain.

• Power When You Need It

  The Bosch SX system delivers an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, producing up to 600 watts of peak power. Riders get the boost they want on steep climbs and long days without the bulk or overpowering feel of heavier e-bike systems.
