Description
A chromoly gravel bike that handles both touring and gravel riding
Founded in 1988 and based in Fern Dale, Washington, USA, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, KONA is a North American brand brimming with a free-spirited mindset that embraces the motto “Let’s enjoy cycling life!” rather than prioritizing racing above all else.
Born from KONA’s “FREE RANGE BIKE” concept, the ROVE
a series that can be seen as a symbol of foresight, having introduced the “touring gravel” style long before the term “gravel” became mainstream.
The ROVE ST is a chromoly frame model thatsmoothly absorbs road vibrations,delivers a comfortable ride that reduces fatigue even on long-distance rides, andoffers a smooth ride. For the 2026 model,the wheels have been updated from the traditional 650b to 700c, achieving higher cruising performance and versatility. The switch to flat-mount brakes achieves both a clean look and high stiffness. Combined with the newly equipped Shimano CUES 1×10-speed drivetrain, it delivers reliable braking power and smooth shifting in every scenario, from city riding to gravel.
The 16°-flared KONA gravel handlebars enhance control on descents and rough terrain, while the Maxxis Rambler 700×40c tubeless-ready tires support riding on any surface, from pavement to gravel.From commuting to school or work, to bike packing with gear, to long weekend rides, the Rove ST is a sophisticated, all-around gravel bike equipped with everything you need to comfortably cover long distances.
