Kona Unity Gloss Future Dusk

Bikepacking has evolved and its enthusiasts have cried out—in its echo, a new Kona has burst onto the scene: the Unity. It might be the ultimate utilitarian bike, but it would be rude to put it in just one box. It’s a mountain bike. It’s a gravel bike. It’s a bikepacking mule and a burly beast of burden built to go further, deeper, and more rugged than most bikes dare.

We wanted big tires. And mixed wheels! Trendy? Maybe. But we chose MX because it brings the center of gravity where we want it, makes a stronger rear wheel, and allows for more clearance when it comes to rear racks and seat bags.

We wanted BIGGER LOADS, but weren’t willing to sacrifice ride quality. So, we optimized the geometry for riding under load, dialing in fork offset and handling to stay predictable when you’re fully packed.

With a custom integrated cargo rack up front and an oversized front triangle built for max frame bag space, the Unity is ready for your biggest missions.

Whether you’re riding across a mountain range or building an off-grid battle cruiser, the Unity has your back—and your front.

No flop, no sway, no wrestling with weight up front—just predictable handling, even with a week’s worth of gear strapped on. • Compatible with popular aftermarket carriers No headache. It plays nicely with the most common third-party front and rear carriers, giving you freedom to expand capacity or tweak your setup based on the mission. • Maximum front triangle space A purpose-built, oversized front triangle gives you the biggest possible footprint for frame bags. Whether you’re carrying water, tools, camera gear or a full pantry, the Unity has room for it. • Multiple accessory mounts everywhere you want them Bosses on the top tube, down tube, fork legs, and stays give you endless modular set-up options. Bottles, cargo cages, tool carriers—if you can bolt it on, the Unity’s ready for it. • UDH / T-Type compatibility with sliding dropouts + 5mm offset stays Modern drivetrain compatibility meets real-world utility. The Unity runs SRAM T-Type and UDH, and the sliding dropouts let you fine-tune wheel position or run it single-speed in a pinch. Offset stays keep tire and rack clearance on point. • Dropper-friendly by design (170–200 mm travel) Bikepacking doesn’t mean you should give up real descending. The Unity accommodates long-travel droppers, so you stay confident on steep terrain—even with the kitchen sink strapped to the bike.
