- This video is about the tire clearance of the Kona Sutra Ltd. frame, 2017 model. I show the tires that fit into the frame, which are 2.2 / 2.4 Maxxis Ardent mountainbike tires on the stock 23mm WTB Frequency rims.
I love the monster truck feeling this setup gives you!
Check out www.konaworld.com for more infos about this lovely ride!
Feel free to ask your questions!
Apologies for my english! I wanted to say Maxxis Ardent TIRES, not WHEELS. Wheels are the stock WTB Frequency 23mm by the way.
Thanks for this info, this should be mandatory from every manufacturer, when building a bike, always post a video with max tyre clearance.
Looks very cool, i hope you go ahead and record some of your rides! :-)

Thank you! Now I'm more motivated to do so!😜
Nice set up. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for something similar. I'd like to try some rocky mountain trails but prefer closer to a road bike feel. Looking forward to a follow up video.

I had the same reasons for buying the bike and it works great on trails. Already did a lot riding with mountainbikers and they are always impressed about the capabilities of the Kona. Basically this is my mountainbike beacause I dont like flat bars. In september Im even doing a mountainbike marathon race on the Kona, but just for fun. Greeetings!
they certainly look cool!
Great video, thanks for posting.
Is the rear tire an ardent 29 2.25? What pressure are you running in the rear? I put a 29 x 2.3 maxxis minion ss on my rear (same bike, 2018 LTD though) and it rubs on the frame really slightly when i go over 45 psi...
Hi, yes it was a 2.25. I never went over 2.0 bar and the tire never rubbed against the frame. Always tubeless though! Greetings!
45 psi is a lot
Are these 700c (29) or 650b? I'm guessing 700c but confirmation would be great! Thanks!
Yes, those are 29er MTB tires.
Greetings!
I have 27mm sun ringle rims. I'm trying to mount Maxxis Ardent 2.25 like you do, but there seems to be frame interference.(because more wide rim) What do you think?
What's the weight of the bike? Nice bike and nice setup btw :)
Hi there and thanks,
I used the bathroom scales to weigh it - according to this method it's around 12.2kg ready to go in this setup.
cheers, Chris
C L thanks!
any idea what max width of fenders you can fit on this? Could I fit the Sks Bluemels 58mm on the sutra?
E-Hamster
I can't say it for sure, but with over 60mm clearance front and rear, fenders in the same width should fit as well.
Greetings!!!
nice bike! what size is it?
Antonis Kapnoulas Hi, the frame is size 56, i'm 1.80m. Fits great!
C L Im 187 cm tall .should I go with the 56 or 54 size?my inseam is 87 cm.Do you clear the top tube stand over height?thanks !
Antonis Kapnoulas
Good question! My inseam is 84cm. I think you have to decide between 56 and 58cm frame. 54cm should be too small. Yes, I easily clear the top tube as its sloped. Greetings!
Looks very cool. I'm waiting for the same bike but 2019 model. I am 1'87 and I doubt between 56 or 58 size
@@ferranespigonzalez What frame did you choose ? I'm also 187... would like to know.
Denkst du die Übersetzung ist gut genug um damit in Odenwald zu fahren?
Das ist so pauschal schwer zu beantworten. Das Gute ist, dass man falls benötigt einfach ein kleineres Kettenblatt montieren kann. Im Gelände und mit Gepäck würde ich zu einem 32er Kettenblatt raten. Standardmäßig ist ein 36er Kettenblatt auf der Kurbel, das für einen Mix aus Straße und Gelände super passt. MfG!
should have gotten a salsa deadwood if you wanted huge tires! on a bike like this 2.0 is big enough, you must never ride in the mud hahaha
Mark Wells
Aaah, the Deadwood...should be alot of fun! Do you ride one? You are right with probably issues on extreme muddy terrain and I'm still looking for the sweet spot in tire size. Still the Sutra ticked most of my boxes and I'm super happy with it so far.
Cheers!
No there is a crazy amount of climbing around my area so a lighter bike is nessasary, but I'm considering a Kona so I can do more MTB with my typical gravel ride, I want to be able to use 45c max, I prefer 40c usually, I do everything in one ride, just not tricky single track
