"Quick, modern, and adaptable" Brooke Summers-Hume at The Radavist has just published her review of the all-new G2 Libre CR. She says that the 2025 Libre CR hits the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and versatility. It’s quick and responsive on climbs and pavement, yet smooth and stable on long gravel rides..
"The Kona Libre suits this purpose just right. Its moderately aggressive geometry, including a steep seat tube angle and shorter chain stays, helps the bike feel light on its feet and eager for acceleration, sprints, and climbs. At the same time, the Libre remains composed over long hours on gravel and doesn’t drag a rider down on stretches of pavement. In fact, the Libre confidently carves and rolls over pavement. The ride experience strikes a balance between speed and all-day composure – comfortable yet instantly responsive when the pace picks up."
