Kona Sutra Review
The Kona Sutra is definitely one of the best touring bikes that you can get for this price. Although it is a little heavy, this bike offers up a top notch performance due to its stability and ease of use. Furthermore, it is also incredibly comfortable. This makes it perfect for those longer rides.
The Sutra is many things and provides a functional, stylish and incredibly versatile performance that’s suited to long haul touring and epic bike-packing adventures. Plus, it’s engineered using Kona’s iconic Cromoly steel and is kitted out with a Brooks saddle, cork bar tape, BarCon shifters, fenders and rack. It also features a Shimano Deore 3×10 drivetrain to give you the maximum gear range, and smooth-rolling Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 700x40c tires on WTB STi23 rims for those long days on the pavement. This Sutra Adventure bike is ready for the boldest and most ambitious adventures from day one and provides all the reliability and dependable performance for ultra-long-distance explorations. Kona Chromoly Very few materials offer as much shock absorption, durability and supple-ride characteristics as steel. Kona has never strayed from cycling’s original material and has worked tirelessly to adapt, refine and innovate Kona Chromoly framesets as rider demands continue to evolve. 12mm Thru Axles 12x142mm, 12×148 and 12×157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer diameter of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted. For 2017, you’ll see the 12×148 Boost standard in the mix. Boost spacing provides more tire clearance at the chainstay yoke, while the rear wheel is stiffer and more durable relative to a 12×142 thru-axle. Tubeless Compatible Rims Tubeless rims allow for tyres with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tyre pressure, which provides better tyre grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tyre systems.
