The Kona Sutra LTD is a drop-bar bike “designed by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers.” We tested one for several months to find out what makes it tick.
Excellent geometry for a dirt touring bike that strikes a good balance for lots of types of riding.
Massive tire clearance and versatility.
73mm BB shell.
Solid build kit featuring a good drivetrain, brakes, crankset, and wheels/tires.
Plenty of mounts for water bottles and racks.
Fragile derailleur hanger; I’d like to see Kona make this in steel or Ti. We broke/bent two of them.
It needs a third bottle mount on each fork leg and on the downtube.
Wish there was a replacement carbon fork.
It can feel a tad sluggish and stiff unloaded, more so on the road, but comes to life when loaded.
Geared a little high for loaded riding; a 32 or 34T ring up front and a 10-46 cassette would be ideal.
