At Kona, we’re all about making bikes that defy description. Bikes that defy simple description. Bikes with personality. Bikes just like you. Bikes that like to ride fast, go everywhere, embrace adventure. Steel because it rules. Big wheels because they’re smooth. The Big Rove is the ultimate adventure bike, a cross between the drop bar Rove bikes, with a dash of mountain flavor. Bigger tires, tougher package, deeper into everywhere.
