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

  • Solid design and spec choices, neither all the fads nor lamentable boomer grouchiness

Lows
  • Stiff

  • Sluggish and dull handling in twisty conditions

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