More from the Vault Friday Goodness, this time from 2015, and features Connor Fearon, Graham Agassiz, and Spencer Paxson having a good time at Retallack Lodge.

Take one of the fastest cross-country racers in North America, a Top 10 World Cup downhill racer, and a Red Bull Rampage podium freeride superstar, plop them way up high in the middle of the mountains, and let the battle rage. Kona Team riders Spencer Paxson, Connor Fearon, and Graham Agassiz met at the top of Retallack Lodge’s Reco Peak, each with their own hand-selected model of the 2015 Kona Process all-mountain steed, and prepared to see who could tally the most points over 16 kilometres and 6,000 vertical feet of singletrack bliss. With points awarded for cross-country power, downhill steeze, and freeride flare, the goal was to see what Process-to-athlete combo would emerge as the winner. Would it be Paxson on the 29-inch wheel, or the shorter-travel Process 111? Fearon on the super-capable, 27.5-inch wheel, mid travel 134, or Aggy on the burly 153? And who might get a hold of the Rasta-hued 26-inch wheel, park-oriented 167? So many questions, so much stress. With a mountain of singletrack ahead of them, who will emerge victorious at the first-ever Kona Process Challenge? Three riders compete on monumental single track in this unique challenge. Points are awarded based on cross-country power, downhill speed, and freeride style.
