The Kona Rove HD is a great choice for enthusiast adventure cyclists who want to go all out on fire roads for a couple of hours, as well as commuters wanting to make quick-and-easy work of their spin to and from the office. If your daily trip includes a bit of time off road, even better! The Rove HD can handle almost any terrain you throw at it with its stout build and highly capable WTB tires.

You also get power to spare, remarkably natural-feeling pedal assist, respectable range, and fairly lightweight — all the makings for a fun and worry-free ride. And at an MSRP of $2,199, it’s an absolute bargain too…

Toby Hill at Gear Junkie has been riding our all-new Rove HD for the last few weeks and has just posted up his review on their site. Toby was impressed with the Suntour Hub Drive system, its quick pick, power, and mid-drive feeling.

More importantly, motor engagement when pedaling from a dead stop was near-instantaneous. That translated to quick starts in city traffic and welcome responsiveness when running into steep hills unexpectedly, especially demanding off-road pitches. And no hill was too steep for this drive system. As I said before, Tour mode got me over whatever grade I desired. But the Rove HD absolutely flew uphill in Sport and Turbo modes.
