KONA Ouroboros Frame
Best versatile foundation for dedicated gravel and adventure cyclists.
This frameset bridges the gap between gravel agility and mountain bike stability, making it the ideal canvas for a do-it-all adventure rig. While you sacrifice the lightweight purity of a dedicated racer, you gain a rugged, vibration-damping foundation that feels just as capable on technical singletrack as it does on long-distance fire roads.
