Kona Rove

The butted cromoly steel frame offers a naturally compliant, vibration-damping ride quality that excels on long gravel rides. While it is heavier than carbon, it provides a unique, lively feel and exceptional durability that many riders prefer for all-day comfort.

Yes, the Rove LTD is designed for adventure. It features multiple mounting points for racks and fenders, and the geometry is stable enough to handle a loaded bike without feeling twitchy on loose surfaces.

The Shimano GRX 2x11 drivetrain provides a wide gear range, making it ideal for mixed-terrain riding where you need high gears for paved descents and low gears for steep, loose climbs. It is a more versatile setup than a 1x drivetrain if you frequently ride on roads between gravel sections.

Yes, the WTB KOM Team i23 rims and Maxxis Rambler tires are tubeless-ready. Running them tubeless is highly recommended to reduce the risk of flats and allow you to run lower tire pressures for better traction on rough terrain.

The bike comes with 47c tires, which offer a great balance of speed and comfort. While there is some clearance for slight variations, you should check with a local shop before upsizing significantly, as frame clearance can vary based on rim width and tread pattern.
