KONAWORLD

OVERVIEW

It's the ultimate touring bike. Featuring a Kona Cromoly frame designed to deliver both comfort and performance for many thousands of miles, the Sutra comes loaded with all the tools needed for the Long Sweet Ride: fenders, racks and components to fit the bill. Defined literally, "sutra" means a thread or line that holds things together. Rest assured our version will do the same for you, no matter how far you may roam.

"Kona's take on the touring bike mixes old-world charm with new-world vigour and a cheeky name. You can't help but blush in front of this American beauty." –Cycling Active magazine, United Kingdom

TECHNOLOGY

KONA CROMOLY

For 2013, you'll find the simplicity, strength, comfort, resilience and playfulness of Kona Cromoly interspersed throughout our road- and mountain-bike platforms. Very few materials offer as much shock absorption, durability and supple-ride characteristics as steel. We've never strayed from cycling's original material and have worked tirelessly to adapt, refine and innovate Cromoly framesets as rider demands continue to evolve.

COMPACT REAR TRIANGLE

Short chainstays and seatstays provide a perfect balance of stability and power transfer when out of the saddle and pedalling hard. Shorter seatstays also have less deflection during braking and accelerate faster than longer stays. The shorter rear triangle also helps the bike to negotiate tight-twisting sections of trail. Our new Entourage short-travel downhill bike is a good example of an incredibly compact rear triangle. Our goal was to create a bike that was easy to jump and trick, and could also corner aggressively. With seatstays measuring just 415mm, we've created one of the most nimble short travel DH bikes in the industry.

LIFETIME WARRANTY

Kona warrants to the original owner that their new Kona bicycle frame purchased from an authorized Kona dealer shall be free of defective materials or workmanship for the lifetime of ownership by the original owner. This warranty is limited to five years for carbon fiber frames.
