No flop, no sway, no wrestling with weight up front—just predictable handling, even with a week’s worth of gear strapped on.\r\n\r\n• Compatible with popular aftermarket carriers\r\nNo 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.\r\n\r\n• Maximum front triangle space\r\nA 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.\r\n\r\n• Multiple accessory mounts everywhere you want them\r\nBosses 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.\r\n\r\n• UDH \/ T-Type compatibility with sliding dropouts + 5mm offset stays\r\nModern 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.\r\n\r\n• Dropper-friendly by design (170–200 mm travel)\r\nBikepacking 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.\r\n\r\nUNITY\r\nSPEC HIGHLIGHTS\r\n• Shimano XT Linkglide 11-speed\r\nBuilt for longevity and smooth shifting under load, Linkglide shines when your bike weighs as much as your weekend pack. Durable, reliable, and made for real-world abuse.\r\n\r\n• RaceFace Aeffect cranks with steel 28T chainring\r\nA tough, no-nonsense crankset matched with a steel direct-mount ring for unmatched durability. Low gearing to keep you spinning when the trail turns vertical and your bags turn heavy.\r\n\r\n• Tektro Gemini 4-piston brakes + 2.3 mm \/ 203 mm rotors\r\nSerious stopping power for serious cargo. Oversized rotors and a stout brake platform give you the control and heat management needed when you’re descending with days of gear onboard.\r\n\r\n• DT 370 hubs with upgraded 36T star ratchet\r\nA proven hub platform with a faster-engaging ratchet upgrade for better responsiveness on technical climbs. Easy to service, built to last.\r\n\r\n• WTB KOM Tough i40 rims\r\nWide, burly, and ready for punishment. The KOM Tough rims offer excellent support for big tires and heavy loads without compromising reliability.\r\n\r\n• WTB Ranger TCS Tough tires\r\nBig volume, real traction, and a casing that refuses to quit. Rangers in TCS Tough spec are perfect for loaded travel over unpredictable terrain.\r\n\r\nFAQ\r\nHow many mounting bosses do the frame and fork have in total?\r\nFrame: 20 mounting points\r\nFork: 11 mounting points\r\nFront rack: 12 mounting points\r\n\r\nThis allows for a wide range of cargo, bottle, and accessory con?gurations.\r\nIs the handling optimized for front-loaded, rear-loaded, or balanced setups?\r\nThe Unity is designed to handle front-loaded, rear-loaded, or balanced setups effectively. Its geometry and stiffness are intended to remain stable and predictable across a wide range of load con?gurations.\r\nWhat’s the lowest gear ratio achievable?\r\nThe Unity ships with a 28T front chainring and a 50T cassette, delivering a very low climbing gear (approximately 0.56 gear ratio).\r\n\r\nThis setup is ideal for steep climbs under load. Final rollout will depend on tire size and drivetrain choice.\r\nCan the Unity be run single-speed if the derailleur fails?\r\nYes!\r\nCan I run a 29” rear wheel instead of 27.5”?\r\nSure! You can run a 29” rear wheel, provided it’s paired with a lower-volume tire, such as a 29 x 2.5”, to maintain proper clearance.\r\nWhat’s the largest tire size I can run?\r\nTire clearance varies by brand and casing, but we recommend staying within the following maximum sizes:\r\n\r\n29 x 3.0”\r\n27.5 x 3.0”\r\n\r\nRunning tires larger than these dimensions is not recommended.\r\nWhat’s the recommended maximum load for the front rack?\r\n6 kg (13.2 lbs)\r\nCan I run a rear rack with full tire clearance?\r\nYes, but ?nal clearance may vary depending on rack design.\r\nCan I run a suspension fork on the Unity?\r\nNo, it is not compatible with front suspension forks. A suspension fork would interfere with the front rack and cable routing and could cause damage.\r\nWhat’s the maximum dropper post travel, and does it affect bag ?t?\r\nMaximum compatible dropper travel by size:\r\n\r\nSmall: 125 mm\r\nMedium: 150 mm\r\nLarge: 175 mm\r\nXL: 200 mm\r\n\r\nSeat bag clearance can be affected when the dropper is fully lowered, depending on the post and bag size.\r\nAre the cable ports sealed?\r\nAll cables are routed externally, with the exception of the dropper post.\r\n\r\nSealing plugs for the dropper routing are included in the small parts kit.\r\nWhat’s the largest brake rotor I can run?\r\n• 203 mm rotors\r\n• 6-bolt\r\n• Up to 2.3 mm rotor thickness","brand":"KONA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47852819513558,"sku":"K37\/UNITY XL","price":2633.23,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/2213\/7814\/files\/k37unity_12c485d1-124c-4d31-b26b-2f48f531e995.jpg?v=1776773228","url":"https:\/\/shop.groupesportif.com\/products\/unity-gloss-future-dusk-xlarge","provider":"Groupe Sportif","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
