Samenvatting

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 pavement. 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 riding position

  • Superb off-road handling

  • Great bang-for-buck

  • Solid and well-thought-out frameset

Cons
  • Feels sluggish on pavement

  • Brake performance is 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.

It floats over log obstacles as easily as it rolls on pavement and gravel
Bicycling
The Rove LTD loves long distances, gravel tracks and demanding terrain.
Gran Fondo Magazine logoGran Fondo Magazine
It's an absolute blast, and although it needs a few tweaks it's still one of the best bang-for-buck bikes I've ridden in a long time, especially off the beaten track.

Kona Rove NRB

mrt 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.

aug 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 …
