A lot of highly rated touring bikes go between 1400(Kona)-2000(trek520) new. Most of the bikes are meant for long haul durability, so they don’t need the latest and greatest or the lightest components. Also most haven’t changed much, so buying an older model isn’t sacrificing a lot. Look for bikes that people bought to go touring but never did. Or went on one tour, then switched back to a gravel/road/ mountain bike.

The best touring bike is one with 20-year-old components on it so wherever you go they'll be able to keep you going with the parts they have in the country you're in !

Sadly it looks like Trek has dropped the 520. So dumb. Trek offers 1000 carbon fibre bikes that are basically the same thing over and over. But they drop the 520 SMH.

Not to mention, they just announced a recall on a good number of some of their “high end carbon” bikes. Meanwhile the last time the fx (the model of bike I ride for multiple uses) was recalled was back in 2012. They really don’t make bikes as durable as they used to, it’s all about the AeRo gains and MAX wattage *cue epic guitar riff*. Bikes that aren’t the focus of the cycling community are oftentimes the best ones, imo.

Not useful to me. Hard to hear the words on my small computer. Spoken too fast too. A running head of the make and model would have helped. Are these bikes available all over the world or just in USA? Importing a bike incurs exchange costs, freight, and import duties, maybe 25% on top of the retail price. And you seemed to be selling them all. Have you actually used any of them? Have you no criticisms or advice? What are the relative costs?

Lousy review. First of all as far as as I know the Trek 920 is no longer in production. Secondly, you talk about and have a couple of shots of the Kona Sutra, but then show numerous photos and some talk about the Sutra LTD., which is a totally different bike? Cycling About does a much better review of touring bikes.
