Jun 2021 · Joe Cruz
Joe spent six months last year on the Kona Rove LTD and took it on multiple bikepacking trips in New England and countless day rides. Here's the review.
Stable descending, especially with bikepacking bags
Premium finish
Solid design and spec choices, neither all the fads nor lamentable boomer grouchiness
Stiff
Sluggish and dull handling in twisty conditions
Not especially a bargain (but not absurd, either)
Apr 2021 · Troy Templin
The Kona Rove LTD remains classic and modern
Feb 2021 · Stu Kerton
Beautiful ride quality and sweet handling makes the Rove LTD an absolute joy to ride, whatever the terrain
Smooth ride quality
Fun yet predictable handling
Plenty of mounting points
Great braking performance
Some cheaper competition
