Kona Unpacked: Justas RImsa's Sutra Ltd

Kona Unpacked: Justas RImsa's Sutra Ltd

Justas Rimsa’s 2023 Sutra LTD is more than just a bike. It’s a vehicle for slowing down, going long, and getting deep into the quiet places most people never reach.
From a childhood spent in nature to a life shaped by endurance sports, Justas has always been drawn to the outdoors. A running injury nudged him toward longer rides, and soon after, bikepacking became his way of exploring more, thinking clearly, and finding calm in the chaos. He’s been bikepacking for five years now, fully loaded and fully hooked. For Justas, pedaling is therapy, and the Sutra LTD is the machine that takes him exactly where he needs to go.

Justas' Sutra LTD sporting quite a few stock drivetrain components, but it's what he's added in the way of hoops and bags that make this bike such a head turner. 

Out back, he's added a Tailfin Aeropack with a couple of bottle cages for good measure. 

Up front, in addition to the Seido MVG fork, you'll find more Tailfin goodness in the form of a Tailfin handlebar bag.  

While a lot of the drivetrain is stock, Justas has upgraded the bike's wheels. It's now rolling on Hunt 40 CGR rims and Schwalbe G One rubber.

The main frame bag is custom-made, while the top tube bag is the Tailfin Long TT bag. Justas has made changes in the cockpit, swapping out the stock bars for Ritchey Beatcon XL's with Profile Missile aero bars.

Also up front Justas has added a few extras, like this ultra bright Magicshine Ray 2100 light and a Suunto Baro 9 watch for navigation.

And in true style, the build is rounded off with a Brooks B17 saddle.
