Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Rove ST model has aluminum wheels. After 700c wheels, 650b is the second most popular choice for road bikes. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Kona Rove ST has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
Rove ST comes in 6 sizes, that range from 147 cm – 195 cm (4.82 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
