For those who love custom builds! Kona SUTRA LTD framesets are in stock.
Hello, this is Ikeda.
This must be what they mean by "a gaping hole in my heart."
My heavy-duty gravel road bike, the "KONA SUTRA LTD," is designed for all terrains.
It's truly my favorite bike. I've ridden it for daily commutes, mountain explorations, and island hopping for ages, but then I received a request asking if they could borrow it for an exhibition, so my beloved bike is currently away on a business trip.
The location is "A&F Country Shibuya Scramble Square Store" in Shibuya, Tokyo.
I usually ride it daily through mud, rain, and wind, so the bike was quite dirty. It's almost embarrassing to see it displayed so beautifully, but I hope it can be of some reference to those considering bikepacking.
The exhibition is scheduled until Sunday, June 8th, so please stop by if you're in the area.
By the way, the KONA SUTRA LTD also has a frameset option.
The complete bike's parts configuration is also excellent, so if you prefer something ready-to-ride from the start, the complete bike is recommended. (As of May 27, 2025, only the 52cm complete bike is in stock.)
However, for those with a strong desire to customize or who want something unique, it's also true that many people change the parts entirely from the beginning. Of course, I'm one of them.
For such individuals, let's go all out with the newly released frameset in Japan and customize it to your liking!

↓ If you're building a SUTRA LTD from the frame up, these parts are also a good match.
The SUTRA LTD is a gravel road bike that can accommodate tire widths up to 29x2.6 inches.
It handles light off-roading with ease, making you smile, and can even manage heavy loads for bikepacking tours.
In that case, the existence of rims that support the same tire width as MTBs becomes important.
If you want something tough, capable of handling rough use, but not too heavy, this rim would be a good choice.

Occasionally, there are "hits" among bicycle parts.
A "hit" means an item that has been thoroughly thought out in every detail, with no compromises.
Completely waterproof, large capacity, an all-in-one pack, and even useful when the bag is removed.
There's still more I want to say, but this fork pack is so popular that it sells out as soon as I try to introduce it.
If you ride a bicycle with eyelets on the front fork for attaching luggage, this will be extremely useful.
Please watch this video for a brief introduction.

WTB was the first brand to respond quickly when 29-inch tires came onto the market, and they were also the first to propose the standard 47c width for 650B as "Road plus."
They are always challengers, bringing new innovations to bicycle tires and releasing tire brands that might just turn the world upside down.
Recently, WTB has started to get a little restless.
WTB seems to be starting something new, and the first release is this tire.
A "wide and fast knobby tire" that appeared with changes in the MTB scene.
The center of the tire is firm for low rolling resistance and smooth riding, while the sides are softer for stable cornering. I tried it out, and it definitely felt smooth everywhere I usually ride.
Next, it seems like something new is coming for saddles too... I'm excited!
I picked out a few parts that would suit the KONA SUTRA LTD.
Please try them out when building from the frame or customizing your bike.
We also accept consultations for SUTRA LTD customization at any time.
Let's enjoy riding with a unique bike!
