Kona Sutra
The Sutra is many things. It’s functional. It’s stylish. It’s incredibly versatile, and it comes ready for the long haul on the bike tour of your dreams. Our Kona Cromoly steel frame is outfitted with a Brooks saddle and matching microfiber bar tape, integrated shifter/brake levers, proper fenders, and a real Tubus Tara Big Apple low-rider front rack. It’s a modern take on the classic touring bike. It’s a grocery getter that’s easy on the eyes. It’s the feeling of steel across pavement that reminds you why you love turning the cranks on long rides. Just like its name suggests it’s the perfect guide for your every ride.
Built around a legendary Kona Cromoly frame and Project Two touring fork, the Sutra is a dedicated globetrotter. It features a reliable Microshift Sword 2x10 drivetrain for conquering steep, loaded climbs, and TRP hybrid mechanical/hydraulic disc brakes for confident stopping power. Finished with a legendary Brooks B17 leather saddle, a Tubus Tara front rack, full fenders, and Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tires, it's ready to cross continents right out of the box.
