Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

    2018 Kona Sutra LTD has 30 mm more stack than 2017 Kona Sutra LTD in the selected sizes.

    More stack places the frame reference higher, not necessarily the handlebar.

Selected-size geometry

Geometry overlay

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.
