Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Gearing
2026 Kona Rove DL has a 16% lower climbing ratio than 2021 Kona Rove DL.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Identity & price
2021 Kona Rove DL had an original MSRP $100 lower than 2026 Kona Rove DL.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.
Selected-size geometry
Geometry overlay
Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.
Lowest0.80:1Highest3.64:1Total range455%
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
Lowest0.95:1Highest3.64:1Total range382%
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
