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)

The Kona Rove LTD remains classic and modern
févr. 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

Superb off-road handling
Robust and tough
Comfortable riding position
Kona components are solid but standard fare
Lacks liveliness and feels too tame on the tarmac

This is a capable bike for road and gravel terrain. The steel frame makes for a very solid feeling bike that can push through some pretty rough grave
Very solid feel in steel. Nimble, and handles roads and gravel competently.
Slightly lower pedal ground clearance with the 650B's.
