The Ouroboros is an all-new platform from the unbound minds at Kona. We bring you three builds– each meant for its own incredibly rowdy ride to the ends of the earth and back. Pack it expertly for the long haul, nimbly explore the edges of singletrack, or complete multiple days of the most wonderfully weird and delightfully chaotic of events. While other gravel bikes may technically tolerate mountain bike components, the Ouroboros is intentionally designed around the rowdy stuff – like 180mm rotors, 2.1 tire clearance, and front suspension, giving you a ride feel that is otherworldly and almost mistakable for a modern trail bike.

Be ready for any adventure with the new Kona Ouroboros – a bike somewhere between the lines of gravel and XC

Deniz and Cooper have distinct gravel bike needs. Will the new Kona Ouroboros cater to them both?
