KONA ROVE ST DL | The definitive chromoly gravel bike with both carrying capacity and riding performance

For cruising around town or embarking on a journey with luggage. A versatile gravel bike that allows you to enjoy the comfort of chromoly for a long time.

The KONA ROVE ST DL is a classic gravel road bike that combines the unique supple ride quality of chromoly with high carrying capacity.

It handles everything from city riding and commuting to gravel rides and long tours, offering the appealing versatility to "naturally ride anywhere."

In addition to the comfortable ride feel provided by the chromoly frame and fork, the tapered head tube and 12mm thru-axles (front and rear) ensure high stability and rigidity even when carrying luggage.

The simple 1x drivetrain with SRAM RIVAL1 offers excellent operability and is a perfect match for gravel and touring. The reliable MAXXIS RAMBLER 650x47c tires allow you to comfortably expand your riding terrain from paved roads to unpaved paths.

Furthermore, the abundant brazed-on mounts allow for flexible attachment of racks, fenders, and more. This is a highly complete chromoly gravel bike that naturally adapts to both touring setups and city-riding customs.
