To make sure you don’t pay a higher amount than normal for your bike, always do some components analysis and read reviews.
Overview of components
Fork material
Sutra has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Kona Sutra 2012, has a 700c aluminum model. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Kona Sutra has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
