Bikes are civilization's perfect tool for transporting you and your stuff, and the UTE can do that better than any car, yak, buffalo, sherpa, or rickshaw. Buy a UTE and send it to your local congressman. Write us to let us know how it went.

The Ute is a well priced, versatile load hauler, striking the balance of being fun to ride unladen and stable-footed when lugging home the groceries.

About Touring / Audax Bikes

Audax Bikes - The most famous Audax ride is the Paris Brest Paris at 1200 km. But you don’t have to attempt to a ride that long to enjoy the benefits that this style of bike can bring. Audax bikes normally have a slightly relaxed geometry which make them suitable for either light touring, sportives or leisure road riding. Most Audax bikes have the capacity to mount a rear pannier rack, and some also boast front rack fittings also. Popular frame materials are steel, Titanium and Aluminium and most come with either a carbon or steel fork. Normally they use a standard deep drop road calliper brake which can allow up to a 28 mm tyre to be fitted with guards (this can vary according to the manufacturer) Touring Bikes - Touring bikes differ from Audax bikes in that they are capable of taking everything needed for a long haul trip. A change in the frames geometry is focussed towards the bike being laden up with both front and rear luggage. When not touring these make great leisure machines and are more than capable of rides upon canal paths and wide forest routes. Touring bikes (depending on manufacturer) can come with a host of braze on's, three sets of bottle mounts are common along with, pump pegs and front rack mounts. In this area steel is king from a frame material point of view, but slowly we are seeing titanium emerge as a luxury option. Braking is normally taken care of by either a cantilever brakes or V-brakes. Tyre width can vary, but 35 mm tyres with guards are a common place.

About the Kona brand

Kona Bikes are a specialist bicycle company based in North America, they specialize in high-performance full suspension and hardtail mountain bikes, road racing and touring bicycles. The company name comes from the owners' love of Kailua-Kona in Hawaii. Kona started naming its bicycles after Hawaiian places and volcanic names like the Cinder Cone, Explosif, Hei Hei (Hawaiian for ""race""), Hahannah (Hawaiian for ""hot""), Fire Mountain, Hot, Lava Dome and Kilauea (released in 1993 and named after the Hawaiian volcano). Kona was founded in 1988 by Jacob Heilbron, Dan Gerhard and early MTB champion Joe Murray, who has since moved to Voodoo Bikes. Heilbron and Gerhard still own and run the company. Kona bikes, frames, clothes and accessories all available at Wiggle with massive discounts. Their philosophy is a simple one - building great bikes is not rocket science - it's knowing where to look for ideas and having the intelligence to be quiet and just listen. Since their very beginning, Kona have been listening to those riders who are continually pushing the definition of what a bike needs to be in order to perform. That's why Kona has consistently supported and designed for cycling's top talents. Kona have found that you can't build innovation too far in front, nor too far behind what is currently happening at the moment. Kona innovate when it's necessary, not when the market dictates. Kona's cycling products are designed with the focus on a specific task or need. Every item is designed around the culture of its core users.
