Founded in 1988 and based in Ferndale, Washington, USA and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, KONA is a North American brand with a free spirit of "Enjoy your life on the bike" rather than racing supremacy. 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 before the term "gravel" became commonplace.
The ROVE ST isa chromoly frame model that absorbs road vibrations with supplenessand provides a comfortable ride without fatigue even on long rides.The 2026 model features 700c wheels instead of the previous 650b wheelsfor higher cruising performance and versatility. The brake mounts have also been flat-mounted for both clean looks and high rigidity. Combined with the new Shimano CUES 1 x 10 speed drivetrain, the new wheels provide reliable braking power and smooth shifting in all riding conditions, from city riding to gravel.
The 16° flared KONA gravel handlebars provide control on descents and rough surfaces, and Maxxis Rambler 700x40c tubeless-ready tires support riding on any surface, from pavement to gravel. From commuting to work and school, to packing your bags, to long weekend rides, the Rove ST is a sleek, versatile gravel bike with everything you need to get you through the long haul in comfort.
