The Kona Sutra (Shimano) is a 2027 gravel bike.
The Sutra is a steel touring bike with an analog soul in a digital world. Its Kona Cromoly frame delivers the smooth, steady ride that makes long days and loaded miles feel right, while a Brooks saddle, full fenders, integrated controls, and a Tubus low-rider front rack leave it ready for the road straight out of the box. It’s a modern take on a classic—equally at home crossing the city, crossing the continent, or stretching a short trip into a full world tour. Load the bags, drop the needle, and take the long way around. No algorithm required.
