  • Comfortable for long distances

Cons

Review: Kona Libre DL gravel bike has some interesting geometry - and it works

janv. 2019 · Zach Overholt

The geometry of the Kona Libre DL is a bit... different. But in a good way - this was one of our favorite gravel bikes of the year.

Kona Libre DL Review

nov. 2018 · Logan Watts

Where does Kona’s new carbon gravel bike fit in to an already versatile range? We tested the Kona Libre DL to find out. Here’s the full review...

Points forts
  • Nice geometry that hits a sweet spot between comfort and performance—surprisingly nimble, climbs extremely well, and feels exceptionally fast on gravel and pavement.

  • Tons of mounts, including five pairs of bottle cage mounts.

  • Solid component spec with no significant shortcomings.

  • Unbelievably lightweight carbon frame with a nice color and graphics scheme.

Points faibles
  • Geared too low for bikepacking out of the box—a 34 or 36T chainring will be a necessary upgrade for most mortals with the 700c/45mm tires.

  • Fork bottle mounts are not spaced correctly for a triple mount cage or bag—the bottom one is spaced a little too low.

  • Somewhat tight tire clearance in the chainstays when running 45mm tires, and 27.5 x 2.1″ from what I can gather.

  • Kona Road Bars are nice and wide, but I’d prefer a little more flare, such as a Cowchipper for this style of bike.
