The Sutra LTD is one of those bikes that just changes everything. You thought you were a mountain biker, but you find yourself sneaking off on adventures and enjoying the drop bars on the LTD. You thought you were a roadie but find yourself absolutely destroying singletrack when no one else is looking and suddenly getting rad is all you wanna do! That’s the best part about the Sutra LTD—it broke the mold of what a bike has to be. It’s got bigger tires, burlier construction, and enough mounts to hold a horse. But who needs a horse when this is your horse?

Sutra LTD
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.
No Limits
The Sutra LTD has a longer reach, wider bar, and slacker headtube than the Sutra and previous-generation Sutra LTD, creating a more stable feel when descending on technical terrain.
A short seat tube provides the perfect home for 100mm dropper posts. Time to get sendy!
Two sets of water bottle bosses under the top tube are perfect for mounting custom frame bags.
Fork mounts and bento box mounts offer more gear-hauling options.
Massive tire clearance means you can run up to a 29x2.25" tire. The Sutra LTD comes with 2.25" Maxxis Rekon Race tires.
Dropouts allow 160/180mm rotors for increased braking performance carrying heavier loads on steeper and more demanding terrain.
