KONA LIBRE EL | Reliable x Assist Performance Gravel E-Bike

The popular Libre evolves into an E-BIKE. A bike that combines the freedom of gravel with the added power of electric assist.

Developed based on KONA's popular gravel bike "LIBRE", the "LIBRE EL" is an electric-assist gravel E-bike.

Equipped with a Shimano DU-E6180 drive unit and a 504Wh battery, it provides effortless riding on steep inclines and long distances. The great appeal of this bike is that it allows you to ride "further" while enjoying the scenery and taking detours, rather than just chasing speed like a road bike.

The Libre itself is a highly refined base, combining stable gravel geometry with the nimble front feel of a Verso full carbon fork, allowing you to naturally expand your riding terrain from paved roads to dirt.

Furthermore, it is fully equipped as a serious gravel bike, with Shimano GRX810 components and a GRX lever-compatible dropper post. This is a highly complete E-gravel bike that can handle everything from commuting to long tours and adventurous rides.

This is undoubtedly a highly refined E-BIKE.

Since it's based on the KONA Libre, the fundamental design as a gravel bike is solid, and it's not just "an assist added." With the combination of a Shimano drive unit and full GRX equipment, it also gives a strong impression of reliability.

While electric road bikes can often feel like "heavy road bikes" when the assist cuts out at high speeds, gravel bikes retain their fun even at low speeds, making them a very good match for E-BIKEs.

It's perfect for commuting and daily use, as well as touring and bikepacking. For those looking for a drop-bar E-BIKE, this is a highly recommended and strong option.
