Kona Sutra – the touring bike

Check the BOTS Kona Sutra image library for the rest of the postures.
Caution – Hardcore Drool ware ;)

Good friend, Passionate biker and loves touring and sharing his whereabouts and adventures whilst on these tours – Shree has traveled the breadth and width of India on a bicycle ( Check out the ‘Earlier Adventures’ section on his blog, its quite a read. His recent post on how he lost his bicycle on a tour recently is also a very interesting read )

Shree is now on a Kona – the Kona Sutra

Touring bikes are the SUVs of the cycling space.

The Sutra is built of butted chromoly steel and spec’d well with a mix of Shimano Tiagra and XT parts. Racks (front and rear) are standard included equipment. The 9-speed cassette with a triple crank make undulating touring terrain a pleasing challenge. Avid BB7 road discs add raw stopping power, important for fully-loaded touring.

We at BumsOnTheSaddle wish Shree the very best and a very comfortable bum(s) on the saddle on his next tour !

    Wow – that’s what I call literally going green! Any other colours on offer? And how much does this beauty cost in India?

    Hari: That’s the 2009 model; that’s why it is green :-) I paid 52620 for this… The 2010 model has fenders and is not coloured green.
