All three bikes feature a tapered headtube.
Rove and Rove DL run steel forks and an internal lower headset cup. Both bikes have the option to run a carbon fork.
The Rove LTD includes a carbon fork and external lower headset cup.
Dropouts allow 160/180mm rotors for increased braking performance carrying heavier loads on steeper and more demanding terrain.
