An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will
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.
5 Frame Mounting Points
Located in the front triangle, these boss mounts allow for limitless custom frame bag options devoid of straps.
Wider Tire Clearance
In the never-ending quest to run slightly wider
tires just because we said you can, we’ve
broadened the horizons of the rubber fitment
journey. Run a 29 x 2.5 front tire with the carbon
rigid fork or run a 700 x 50mm front tire with a
Fox or RockShox 40mm suspension fork.
69.5 Headtube Angle
Slacker than gravel, steeper than modern trail
mountain bikes, we chose this angle for a
reason. This angle keeps enough weight on the
front wheel to keep things snappy on slappy
singletrack, yet relaxed enough to not send you
kissing the front tire when things get beguiling.
31.6mm Seatpost
This. This is a moment of genuine intention.
Look past the typical 27.2mm dropper posts
and you’ll see it. As hardcore riders designing
for hardcore rides, we know how the longevity
of a dropper is crucial when you’re deep in
those backcountry moments – only a proper
31.6mm seat post can ensure riders are able to
choose what keeps them going for the long haul.
