Kona Rove DL Gravel Bike - Gloss Mocha
COMING SOON - STOCK WILL BE COMING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!
If you’re after a bike that’s built to last, looks incredible, and feels smooth on every ride, the Kona Rove DL is your perfect companion. Finished in a refined Cream (Gloss Mocha) with orange and black accents, the Rove DL blends classic style with modern capability—ideal for riders who value reliability over trends and want a machine that simply performs.
At its core is Kona’s legendary Butted Cromoly steel frame, chosen for its comfort, durability, and beautifully smooth ride quality. Paired with the Kona Project Two cromoly disc fork, the Rove DL delivers that unmistakable steel feel: stable, compliant, and confidence-inspiring on rough roads, gravel paths, or long weekend loops.
The drivetrain is powered by Shimano CUES 11-speed, delivering a wide 11–50T range for steep climbs, rolling terrain, and everything in between. Whether you’re exploring backroads or loading up for bikepacking, the gearing works with you—not against you.
Reliable Shimano CUES hydraulic disc brakes and 160mm Centerlock rotors give you consistent stopping power in all weather, while the combination of WTB ST i23 rims and Maxxis Rambler EXO tyres provide grip, comfort, and durability across mixed surfaces. Depending on frame size, the Rove rolls on either 650b x 47c or 700c x 40c tyres, giving every rider an ideal balance of speed and cushioning.
Finished with Kona touches like the Gravel Dropbar, Thumb seatpost, Kona Cork Tape, and a supportive WTB Volt saddle, this bike is ready for long days, tough terrain, and years of reliable riding.
If you’re the type who wants a high-quality gravel bike without paying for hype, the Rove DL has been the dependable workhorse of Kona’s lineup for years—and continues to deliver unbeatable value and performance.
