You’re deep in a dream, floating smoothly across the most picturesque road on the Italian coastline, or NorCal, or SoCal, or Ireland. The road is winding and fast, and you’re absolutely crushing the KMs. You look down to find yourself aboard the Rove NRB and can’t help but smile. It’s perfect. Its aluminum frame is lightweight and strong. It’s 650B tires whisk you up and down the rollercoaster-like roads while the tears fly from your eyes and you grin from ear-to-ear. You’re smiling not just because the bike feels amazing but because it has everything you need—mounts for gear, comfortable geo, fast-rolling tires, reliable components—and you spent way less than the other riders did on their fancy rigs. Ride smarter and harder on the Rove NRB.

Tapered head tube
More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder, while providing confident steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup—maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed.

650b wheels
650b wheels and tires have a similar overall diameter to a traditional 700c gravel or commuting tire, but with a smaller diameter rim and a wider, taller tire. The extra air volume in this new generation of urban and mixed-surface tires 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.

Tubeless compatibe rims
Tubeless rims allow for tires with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tire pressure, which provides better tire grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tire systems.

Kona 6061 Aluminium
Kona 7005 and 6061 Aluminum alloys are used extensively throughout their fleet 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 the 7005/6061 tubing is butted and/or formed, meaning the tubing’s wall thickness can be increased or decreased, as well as shaped, so we can fine-tune a particular frame’s strength and ride characteristics depending on its intended application.
