The Kona Sutra is a perennial classic touring bike that has been around in various forms for nearly two decades. Find our review here...
Realistically priced for a complete touring bike in 2023
Exceptionally comfortable over long days
Handles predictably when loaded up
Replete with mounts for bottles, bags, racks, and fenders
Heavy at 32 pounds (complete size 58)
Ride feel is somewhat sluggish until it’s up to cruising speed
Conservative tire clearance limits applications
Paint and graphics leave a little to be desired
