Kona Road/Gravel Bikes

The Rove is Kona’s essential drop bar all-rounder. Comfortable fit and stable geometry, the ability to take racks and fenders, and a no-nonsense spec make the Rove a great choice for commuting, weekend adventuring, or the occasional ‘cross or gravel race. You get a sensible double drivetrain, mechanical disc brakes, and WTB alloy rims wrapped in versatile Schwalbe tires to ensure you get the most from every ride.

The intention is in the name, as the Rove is the perfect bike to use as a wandering companion. Our most traditional drop bar offering, the Rove is willing to go the distance whether on pavement, dirt, or even gravel. Outfitted with Hayes mechanical disc brakes, and a wide range of gearing, the Rove is an affordable, road-ready steed.

The Rove became an instant classic in the Kona line as soon as it was introduced. Whether it was commuting or gravel racing or whatever you can imagine in-between, what people have done with the Rove has carved a niche. The versatility comes from a combination of relaxed road frame geometry and clearance for wide tires. Throw on the included full-coverage fenders, add a rack and some bottle cages, and you've got more transportation capability and fun in a bike than you do in that hunk of motorized steel in your driveway. The future of road cycling is here — where are you?

When the ride requires speed, it’s important to pay attention to the little details. Fenders for bad weather and 9 speed gearing provide the comfort and range needed to access any kind of road in any kind of weather. The Rove DL is the answer to your road needs no matter when and where you ride.

The venerable steel adventurer is back, offering that smooth steel ride and a great parts spec in a package with a whole lot of potential. This year the Rove ST gets flat mount disc brakes and thru-axles on its chromoly frame and fork, a wide-range SRAM 1x11 drivetrain, plus tubeless-ready wheels and tires. Bountiful rack and bottle cage mounts are sure to satisfy your needs on longer journeys, too. Where will the Rove ST take you? That’s up to your imagination.

The Sutra is many things. It’s gorgeous. It’s stylish. It’s incredibly versatile, and it comes ready for the long haul. Our Kona Cromoly steel frame is outfitted by a Brooks saddle, cork bar tape, BarCon shifters, a Shimano Deore 3x9 drivetrain to give you maximum gearing, and smooth-rolling 700c WTB wheels. It’s quite the looker right out of the box, and it’s ready for your biggest adventure. What more could you want?

For those that have a love affair with steel, the Rove ST will slide rightfully near the top of your “next to buy” list. New this year, the Rove ST runs on 650b wheels that are tubeless ready right out of the box. A SRAM Rival 1 drivetrain and flat mount disc fork round out what we consider to be a killer value.

The Rove NRB is the evolution of the bike that was doing gravel before it became a buzzword. An all new frame and fork with thru-axles and flat mount disc brakes combine with the legendary Kona ride to make a modern drop bar bike that pushes the limits once again. WTB Horizon tires made Road Plus a household name with a 47mm width and supple ride quality. Paired to WTB Asym i23 rims, you've got an unbeatable tubeless-compatible wheel system built to handle everything from long days on rough roads to light singletrack. Shimano Tiagra makes crisp shifts through the 20-speed drivetrain, while TRP Spyre C brakes leave nothing to be desired with confident stopping power. The Rove NRB is a distinctly Kona take on the modern all-day road bike.

Sometimes we hit a crossroads where the pavement ends, and the dirt begins. Enter the Rove NRB. 650b wheels, a carbon flat mount disc fork, and mechanical disc brakes mean that transition from pavement to dirt is seamless. Couple those features with a SRAM Apex 1x drivetrain, and the Rove NRB is begging to take you away from your traditional route and into territories unexplored.

Classic looks and the smooth, precise ride of quality steel — the Wheelhouse is Kona's take on the modern disc road bike. The Wheelhouse shares all of the features of Kona's flagship steel road bike, the Roadhouse, in a more affordable parts spec. What it doesn’t miss out on is the Reynolds 853 frame and full carbon fork, flat mount disc brakes, and thru-axles at both ends. You get reliable shifting and capable stopping power through Shimano's Tiagra drivetrain and Tektro mechanical brakes, and Alex aluminum wheels wrapped in Schwalbe Spicer 30c tires provide responsive control. From the Sunday club ride to the gran fondo, the Wheelhouse is your steed.

Consider a simple question: what is a modern road bike? If you ask Kona, it would be quick on the pavement but completely capable of putting in time on a variety of surfaces. Thru-axles, hydraulic brakes, and room for big tires. The ability to run both racks and fenders, simultaneously. Triple bottle mounts on the frame. See where we're going? The Rove NRB is a distinctly Kona take on the modern all-day road bike.

Once upon a time a bunch of mountain bikers dreamed up something wild: a drop bar bike that felt like a mountain bike and rode like a mountain bike. It was made of steel for that added bump absorption, had powerful SRAM Rival 1 hydraulic disc brakes and 1x drivetrain. It had a wider bar with a 16-degree flare that made for more aggressive descending. The Sutra LTD came to reality in all of its dreamy glory and is an absolute riot on-road or off.

We had fun designing the Rove NRB DL. With homage to its steel cousin, the NRB has creative geometry to allow for bigger tire clearance, and custom dropouts that are easily used with fenders. Size XS comes with smaller 40c tires. Nicely dressed with a Shimano 105 2x11 drivetrain, a carbon fork, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, the NRB DL is a unique bike that is ready for anything.

The Libre is the result of years of dreaming up the ultimate carbon dream machine. It’s part road bike, part mountain bike, part gravel grinder, and entirely badass. A Shimano 105 2x11 drivetrain ensures maximum gear range, while WTB 650b tubeless ready wheels provide ample clearance for your favorite tires. Our new Kona Verso Carbon Touring fork is one of the only carbon forks on the market that allows for multiple rack and fender mounting options.

The Roadhouse is Kona's flagship Reynolds 853 road bike, combining the lively ride characteristics and aesthetics of classic steel bikes with the all the details you’d expect from a modern road bike. A tapered head tube and full carbon fork, flat mount discs and thru-axle wheels, new Shimano Ultegra R8000 drivetrain and Mavic Allroad Elite wheels place the Roadhouse firmly in the modern era, while the Brooks Cambium saddle and metallic orange paint set the bike off aesthetically.

“This bike has it all.” “How can it get any better?” “I’m speechless. It’s perfect.” It’s not uncommon to hear people talk about the Rove LTD in similar terms. Simply put, there’s nothing left out of this thoughtfully spec’d bike. Reynolds 853 steel is the chassis for SRAM Force 1 components, our full carbon flat mount CX race disc fork, and WTB ASYM i23 wheels.

The Rove LTD is the pinnacle of Kona's expanded Rove lineup. Top-notch Reynolds 853 tubing, clearance for high volume 650b tires, and a new full carbon thru-axle fork set the stage for a no-holds-barred build that verges on custom. SRAM's Force 1 group keeps performance and aesthetic on-point, and the WTB KOM wheelset paired to Horizon tires ensures you'll never hesitate to go exploring. Whether you’ve got long distance gravel events in your sights, or just enjoy the feel of steel and big tires, this is one bike that won’t leave you wanting more.

The Libre DL is the ultimate adventure machine. Our Race Light Carbon frame, new Kona Verso Carbon Touring fork, Easton EA70AX wheels, and SRAM Force 1 components make this thing a rocket ship on any kind of hill. And by any hill we mean that: gravel grind, monster singletrack climb, or a weekend haul over a mountain pass. The Libre DL knows no limits.

The Zone LTD holds nothing back. Each and every piece has been selected to create the ultimate endurance road bike. From the SRAM Red eTap HRD electronic drivetrain with hydraulic discs to the Easton EC90 cockpit to the Mavic All Road Pro wheels wrapped in Challenge Paris-Roubaix open tubulars, Kona spared no expense so you won’t have to worry about a single thing.
