Kona Sutra (Blue)
B36SU5X_52
A classic steel touring bike for the rider planning the long haul, with real low-rider racks and a Brooks saddle for the bike-tour of your dreams.
Overview
The Kona Sutra (Blue) is built around a Kona chromoly butted steel frame and a matching Project Two Cromoly Disc Touring fork, a combination chosen for the way steel absorbs road vibration over very long days.
It's equipped with a Shimano Tiagra/GRX 2x10-speed drivetrain, TRP HDC711C disc brakes, a Tubus Tara Big Apple low-rider front rack, proper fenders, and a Brooks B17 leather saddle with matching microfiber bar tape.
This is a bike for a rider planning real distance - loaded touring, long-haul bikepacking, or simply wanting a comfortable, dependable commuter that can carry real weight.
Why You'll Like It
Steel for the long haul
The chromoly steel frame and fork absorb road vibration better than aluminum, keeping long days in the saddle more comfortable.
Ready to carry real weight
The included Tubus Tara Big Apple low-rider front rack and braze-ons throughout mean you can load this bike for genuine touring, not just light errands.
A wide-range drivetrain for loaded climbs
The Shimano Tiagra/GRX 2x10-speed drivetrain with an 11-36T cassette gives enough range to get a loaded bike up real hills.
A saddle built to last
The Brooks B17 leather saddle breaks in to your shape over time and is a long-standing favorite among touring riders for all-day comfort.
Who Is It For?
Suited to riders planning loaded touring or long-distance bikepacking, or anyone wanting a comfortable, dependable all-rounder that can also handle daily commuting with fenders already fitted.
For riders in India planning longer multi-day routes or monsoon-season commuting, the fenders, wide 40c tires, and rack-ready frame make this a genuinely practical choice beyond just touring.
Good to Know
The low-rider front rack and braze-ons throughout make it straightforward to add panniers or a handlebar bag for loaded travel.
