The trail doesn’t end. Nor does the road. That’s where the Rove AL comes in. Really smart, able to go where your legs and lungs can take you. A light and efficient alloy frame, with rack and fender mounts that give you every option to jump on your bike and go. Then go some more.
“The multiple mudguard and rack mounts give this bike so much more potential.” -Cycling Active UK
Frame Features:
The Rove AL and Rove receive the same fit as our new CX geometry but with a slightly lower bottom bracket to provide a bit more stability. The bikes are also designed around a slightly larger tire clearance than the CX platform for the road less traveled.

What started as one model three years ago has grown into an entire family of bikes. Our ever-popular Rove is the bike that knows no bounds. From gravel epics to high-mountain passes, cross-country sojourns to the odd snippet of singletrack. This year the Rove group offers models for every type of cycling adventurist. Choose yours and go.
Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminum alloys are used extensively throughout our fleet of mountain and asphalt bicycles. A tough, durable, affordable, light alloy, both Kona 7005 and 6061 deliver fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of rides. Much of our 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, allowing us to fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application.
