Description

Looking for a bicycle which is ready for anything? The 2025 Sutra is certainly one to consider *. The geometry is based on Kona’s CX, enhanced with a taller head tube and longer top tube, paired with Kona’s Project Two Cromoly Disc Touring fork. This offers great tyre clearance and limits toe overlap.

“Some bikes are fun for a few laps or a trail or two, but the Sutra is the kind of bike you can point toward the horizon and just go.” Bikepacking.com

There are some neat finishing touches like a replaceable derailleur hanger on the rear, mudguard eyelets inside the seatstays, and external cable routing for both shifters … which are on the levers so you can remain focussed on the road ahead: this keeps things nice and neat, wherever you may roam. A Brooks B17 leather saddle with matching microfibre bar tape is there for you too!

* 2024 Edition Kona Sutra is also available in the Satin Midnight with Gloss Bronze Decals

“The Kona Sutra is a Gateway Bike to Gravel Grinding.” Bikerumour.com

Triple water-bottle bosses on the inner triangle are boosted by a fourth on the underside, which is well protected from the elements by an extended front mudflap. There’s also Bento mounts up top. The new fork design has mounting points on the blades to make use of all the space you have up front, balancing the weight as it does and it includes the Tubus Tara Big Apple Front Rack.

“The Sutra is a dangerous bike—not because of any structural issues, but because it’ll make you want to ride out of your office on a Tuesday and keep pedaling until you’ve reached the opposite coast.” Bicycling Magazine (USA)

The Sutra frame features slightly heavier gauge tubing than Kona’s Rove, to provide a stiffer platform: great for pulling heavier loads, whether you’re carrying camping kit through the Cairngorms or computers to the office. Sweet ride!
