Kona Dream Builds: Simon's Sutra LTD is Ready for Adventure

Simon’s Sutra LTD is built for real adventure — no frills, no shortcuts. With a setup dialed for self-supported missions, off-the-grid exploration, and everything in between, this bike is ready for whatever the next ride throws at it. Thoughtfully put together and made to go the distance, it’s everything you want in a true adventure rig. 

The bike is propelled by a single ring setup that's a mix of Race Face and SRAM with a SRAM Mech mated to a Race Face Crankset up front. 

The stock drop bars are gone in favour of a Jones H Bar with some clip-on areo bars for those long, long days. 

Classic AVID BB8 brakes and ESI Silcone grips keep the bike under control

You can't go past cable-actuated Avid brakes from yesteryear. No matter where you go in the world, you will always be able to find a brake or gear cable.... The purple anodized Hope floating rotor ads the right amount of bling.

ZIPP 303s carbon rims keep the rotational mass low...

While the Pathfinder Pro 40x700 tires keep the Sutra LTD rolling fast.

A Nitto M1b front rack adds carrying capacity.

An assortment of bags from Restrap and Geosmina provides ample space for essentials.

A classic Thomson Layback post looks just the part with a Brooks saddle atop.

With both the form and function boxes ticked, Simon's Sutra Ltd is ready for anything!
