Kona Rove AL 650 Gravel BikeThe Rove AL 650 is a versatile, stylish and affordable gravel adventure bike from Kona. A smooth-shifting Shimano Claris 2x8-Speed gearset gets you up steep hills with ease while Tektro Mira CX (cyclocross) mechanical disc brakes ensure you experience reliable all-weather stopping power. It is also designed to offer generous tyre clearance for its 650b wheels, giving you a balance of fast rolling, grip and traction across a wide range of off-road terrains.Durable Aluminium Frameset with Wide Tyre ClearanceYou may ask yourself, “What is this 650b semi-plump tyre trend anyway?” Perhaps you are gravel-curious, but not quite sure of how often you'll really want to push your limits off the paved road. That is what the Rove AL 650 is here for. It is the road biker's gravel/touring/do-it-all, go-anywhere two-wheeled companion. It welcomes bigger tyre clearance and more comfortable geometry. It provides everything you need for a fast, comfortable ride and nothing you don't. It's the perfect bike for commuting, partaking in weekend warrior adventures, or diving deeper into longer tours.Shimano Claris 8-Speed Drivetrain and Tektro Mira Disc BrakesThe Rove AL 650 is the 650b-wheeled companion to the Rove AL 700. For those riders looking for a 650b wheeled machine with all the features of its bigger sibling, look no further. This off-road gravel warrior is armed with a Shimano 2x8-Speed drivetrain, reliable and powerful Tektro Mira mechanical disc brakes, and 47c WTB Venture Comp tyres, giving the Rove AL 650 the performance, agility and control for all-terrain riding. Kona 6061 Aluminium Frame and ForkKona 7005 and 6061 Aluminium alloys are used extensively throughout their range of mountain and asphalt bicycles. A tough, durable, 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, so they can fine-tune a particular frame's strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application. 650b Wheels and Tyres650b wheels and tyres have a similar overall diameter to a traditional 700c gravel or commuting tyre, but with a smaller diameter rim and a wider, taller tyre. The extra air volume in this new generation of urban and mixed-surface tyres means they can be run comfortably at lower pressures while still rolling quickly on a variety of surfaces. It's the best of both worlds.
