“Overall, there’s no mistaking that this is a Kona, which is one of the reasons I think I fell in love with it. Kona has a habit of making bikes that are heavily focused on fun with a healthy dose of durability and performance. The Libre DL checks all of those boxes for me.”

Zach Overholt at Bike Rumor has just posted up his full review of the Libre DL on their site. After the bike making his Editors Choice list for 2018 we had a feeling that his review might show a little love for the Libre DL, but it seems that much like us, he is head-over-heels infatuated with this bike.

“Every time I ride the Libre DL, I’m constantly amazed at how good it makes me feel and that feeling is further rewarded with some of the fastest speeds that I’ve been able to maintain on a gravel rig.”
