The Rove started this whole thing—the non-cyclocross cyclocross bike, if you will. We took what we’d found in the original Rove design and pushed it more towards the mountain realm. The Big Rove is our non-mountain bike mountain bike, designed for 2.0 tires and fenders. Take it on singletrack, shred the grocery-store run, blast down the interurban and ride through rough roads with ease. The frame geometry is slightly longer than our Dew bikes to allow a shorter stem, providing a stable and responsive more upright position for the rider. Big Rove – go anywhere.
