Steel Roves

This year we're offering three steel Roves. The Rove, Rove DL, and the Rove LTD bring that classic feel to your favorite classic Kona drop bar bike.

Rove LTD

Rove DL

Rove

All three bikes feature a tapered headtube.

Rove and Rove DL run steel forks and an internal lower headset cup. Both bikes have the option to run a carbon fork.

The Rove LTD includes a carbon fork and external lower headset cup.

Dropouts allow 160/180mm rotors for increased braking performance carrying heavier loads on steeper and more demanding terrain.
