Kona drops new, more affordable aluminum-framed versions of its popular Hei Hei MTB and Libre gravel models.
sept. 2025 · Clifford Lee
Kona's Jake cx series of bikes is gone, but its new Libre CR is a versatile, carbon drop-bar gravel bike. Is it the right gravel (or cyclocross) bike for you?
Planted and confidant descending
Good balance for fast gravel with technical features
Rangey geometry but not sluggish acceleration
Steep climbing traction better than expected
Long front center avoids toe overlap
UDH compatible
Versatile for day rides, racing, and light bikepacking
Easily upgraded with lighter wheels for performance boost
Heavy wheelset (1820g) hurts acceleration
Few mounting points (no frame bag/rack mounts)
High stack may not suit very low positions
No suspension fork allowed (warranty void)
Slightly less nimble in tight chicanes
Apex groupset is entry-level
