Description
Founded in 1988 and based in Ferndale, Washington, USA and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, KONA is a North American brand with a free spirit that does not place supreme importance on racing, but rather on "enjoying the bicycle lifestyle! KONA is a North American brand with a free spirit of "Enjoy your life on the bike!
ROVE was born from the concept of "FREE RANGE BIKE" proposed by KONA.
ROVE is a symbol of KONA's foresight in presenting a touring gravel style even before the term "gravel" became commonplace.
The ROVE AL is an entry-level model that is easily accessible to students and those who want to start riding sports bikes. It features a lightweight, high-strength 6061 butted aluminum frame that is both sturdy and nimble.
Equipped with dowel holes in various locations, it can be used for bike packing as well as for mounting carriers and fenders. It is suitable for a wide range of activities from city riding to long-distance touring and camping rides.
The clean, pop blue color sets it apart from gravel bikes, which tend to be rugged, and it asserts a strong presence while blending in naturally with the cityscape.
The drivetrain is a SHIMANO ESSA 1 x 8 speed with an 11-45T cassette for a wide gear range. This practical configuration can handle everything from paved roads to long climbs and rough terrain. The Maxxis Rambler 700 x 40C tires are standard equipment, providing both on-road comfort and off-road stability.
Despite its substantial specifications, the price is in the low 100,000 yen range, offering a high cost-performance ratio.
For those of you who are serious about enjoying life with a bicycle, the
ROVEAL is the perfect starting bike.
