Kona Rove LTD Review: Long-Term Roving

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.

Highs
  • Stable descending, especially with bikepacking bags

  • Premium finish

  • Stiff

  • Sluggish and dull handling in twisty conditions

  • Not especially a bargain (but not absurd, either)
