Résumé

The Kona Rove is a versatile gravel bike praised for its comfortable yet nimble ride, capable handling on mixed terrain, and solid build quality. It excels in off-road conditions with superb handling and a comfortable riding position, though some reviews note it feels sluggish on tarmac. The bike offers great value with a well-thought-out frameset and decent specs, though component choices and brake performance are occasionally criticized.

Pros
  • Versatile for multi-surface use

  • Comfortable yet nimble ride

  • Solid and well-thought-out frameset

  • Great bang-for-buck

  • Superb off-road handling

Cons
  • Feels sluggish on tarmac

  • Brake performance below par

  • Component choices occasionally criticized

  • Weight can be an issue

Key Quotes
Its steel frame with disc brakes and big tire clearance make it a quiver killer.
BIKEPACKING.com
It floats over log obstacles as easily as it rolls on pavement and gravel.
Bicycling
The Kona Rove DL is one of those bikes that just shows you should never base anything on spec lists, weight or any other facts and figures.

Kona Rove LTD Review: Long-Term Roving

juin 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.

Points forts
  • Stable descending, especially with bikepacking bags

  • Premium finish

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

Points faibles
  • Stiff

  • Sluggish and dull handling in twisty conditions

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

Ready for the island – Kona Libre & Kona Rove LTD. in review

avr. 2019 · Stefan Trocha

Hold on – isn’t the head tube way too long for a gravel bike? Kona approaches the gravel concept from a mountain-bike perspective and introduces two new gravel bikes: the Kona Libre and Kona Rove LTD. We took both bikes to Madeira and Porto Santo and gave it some proper gravel! We all know that […]

Points forts
  • Superb off-road handling

  • Robust and tough

  • Comfortable riding position

Points faibles
  • Kona components are solid but standard fare

  • Lacks liveliness and feels too tame on the tarmac

Kona Rove NRB

mars 2018

We first had the chance to ride the Kona Rove NRB at Kona’s drop bar bike launch in Spain just before Christmas. Initial impressions were very positive. Since then, our tester Benedict has had a chance to ride the bike in his native Edinburgh in slightly soggier conditions. How has the bike handled the change? Talking the future of gravel riding with Kona Review: Sonder Camino Al Apex 1 Hydraulic - bargain priced grave/adventure bike Review: Vitus Substance V2 Apex 1 - steel framed, hydro braked gravel bike Let me start by saying that this is a very capable bike.

First Ride: Pedaling the Kona Rove LTD from Whistler to Squamish

août 2017 · Zach Overholt

I’m in Whistler, BC, and I just got dropped off with a drop bar bike and a road helmet. The mountain biker in me can’t help but feel a bit disappointed that I’m so close to one of, if not the, meccas of mountain biking, only to pedal off in the opposite direction. However, the cyclist …
