Description
For the steel lover with an abundance of adventurous spirit.
The perfect gravel bike is now available for cyclists who are in love with steel. All-new this year, the Robe ST takes you on a new adventure with tubeless-standard 650b tires right out of the box. It also features a flat-mounted disc fork, and we swear the finest Circles has come up with this year is a killer machine!
Braking power is not the only thing that road bikes have gained by switching to disc brakes. Another important benefit of disc brakes is the freedom in wheel sizE This ROVE ST is assembled with 650B wheels, and is compatible with the so-called ROADPLUS standard and equipped with the so-called ROADPLUS standard 650x47B Maxxis Rambler tires. The tires are said to be almost the same diameter as a 700x28c tirE This size, which is said to be almost the same diameter as 700x28c, allows the rider to push forward on rough terrain without fear, thanks to its volumE
The frame itself is made of lightweight chromoly pipe, which keeps the weight relatively low for a bike, and although it is not as agile as a racer, it is still a pleasantly progressive bike that can be ridden from home to the trailhead on-road. It's also more than capable of accessing the trailhead on-road from home, and from there it's more than capable of enjoying the dirt.
The wide gear ratios, through-axle, flat-mounted disc brakes, and hydraulic disc calipers are all well-designed, but the parts selection is realistic and not overdone, while still using today's standards.
The bike is more compatible with the frame bag + saddlebag packing style, but it also has eyelets for attaching a rear carrier and separate fender eyelets, which shows Kona's attention to detail.
You can attach fenders or a carrier. It is the best plaything for bikepacking, touring with luggage, and even long rides. Unlike other mass-production manufacturers, this is a Kona product that is made from the perspective of realistic usE
