Kona Rove 700c

The Rove is Kona's king-of-cool steel frame gravel/commuter bike

Kona have spec’d just right and it looks great, also, the Rove makes quick work of the commute, gravel trail, or the after-work fitness lap on your local hill.

For 2026 the Rove comes in the new Kona Chrome with Dark Concrete & Blue Smoke Decals, which is a striking combination from the very first glance. This reflects its personality too: ready to tackle all environments with untold energy, with the chromoly frame also having stronger brakes and updated geometry inspired by Kona’s high-end gravel line.

It’s built for comfort, control, and all-day adventures. It’s the do-it-all that just keeps going!

Sticking with the tried and tested combination of a sturdy and capable bike, the Rove is as happy on a long distance road route as it is on a bit of dirt at the weekend. This makes for a reliable commuter bike, which you can also take away from traffic. The gear range is far reaching so the Rove is ready to take on all comers, whilst hydraulic disk brakes keep it all under control

“Kona hasn’t pushed the boundaries of what is possible with a gravel bike, but they’ve created a bike that is happy across a broad spectrum of riding and perhaps the beginning of the reinvention of the road bike market with a focus towards more versatile and adventurous experiences.” Road.cc

Those of us who come from a mountain biking background can be confident that the Rove will hold it all together too: it is lead by the new Project Two fork which started out on the Cinder Cone in 1988. This really comes in handy when your riding style includes all weather and all terrain riding rather than just on hard ground, as the Rove eats potholes for breakfast

It is an outstanding choice for ‘do it all’ daily commuter and weekend plaything.
