OVERVIEW

The same freedom to ride everywhere as its steel and aluminum brethren, but in Titanium. Basically, it’s like riding a Rove on a cloud. Lighter, with better damping. You could have this bike for the rest of your life, the same luxurious ride feel as the day you bought it. That good.

TECH

ROVE Cyclocross, Touring, Commuter

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.

3-2.5 TITANIUM

At Kona we only use 3-2.5 Titanium, an incredibly strong and lightweight metal consisting of 3 percent aluminum, 2.5 percent vanadium, and 94.5 percent pure titanium. Excellent fatigue life, lightweight property consistency, form-ability, and corrosion resistance are but a few of the reasons we use 3-2.5. Our titanium frames, aside from the Honzo Ti which is made in Taiwan, are manufactured in Tennessee, U.S.A. by Lynskey Performance Designs, one of the top titanium fabricators in the world.

2016 Ti bikes: Honzo Ti, Raijin Ti, Explosif Ti, Esatto Ti, Rove Ti
