Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Frame geometry
2025 Kona Sutra LTD has 9 mm more reach than 2021 Kona Sutra LTD in the selected sizes.
More reach puts the head-tube reference farther forward, not necessarily the hands.
- Frame geometry
2025 Kona Sutra LTD has 11 mm more stack than 2021 Kona Sutra LTD in the selected sizes.
More stack places the frame reference higher, not necessarily the handlebar.
- Handling
2025 Kona Sutra LTD has a 1.5° slacker head-tube angle than 2021 Kona Sutra LTD in the selected sizes.
Fork offset, tire size and wheelbase also affect steering; head angle alone is not a handling verdict.
- Gearing
2025 Kona Sutra LTD has a 22% lower climbing ratio than 2021 Kona Sutra LTD.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Identity & price
2021 Kona Sutra LTD had an original MSRP $500 lower than 2025 Kona Sutra LTD.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.

How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
