Overview
The long-regarded Sutra LTD has steadily evolved into a progressive drop bar off-road rider’s dream: true mountain bike tires, a real dropper post, modern yet sensible and capable geometry, and ample frame storage capability while still boasting a fun-sized sloping top tube with cornering-worthy standover clearance. All while touting the supple steel ride quality that made it that instantaneous cult classic. Plus year-on-year-on-year durability. Is it perfect? If it’s not, then this is as close as perfection gets.
