The Libre EL has made itself known as a go-to adventure bike for people of all abilities. Looking to up your distance? Want a tool that allows you to ride farther in less time? The Libre EL is a versatile machine that has the legs to go just about anywhere. Built on our wildly popular Libre platform, the Libre EL features an aluminum frame and Verso Full Carbon Flat Mount Disc fork. Like its CR DL sibling, it runs a gravel-specific drivetrain and brakes, ensuring the grime that you’ll inevitably get from a mucky ride doesn’t affect shifting and braking performance. Unlike its analog sibling it gets a power boost from a Shimano motor and internal battery. In other words, it’ll get you to the top of that insanely steep mountain you’ve been eyeing up, and let you enjoy the benefits of rippin’ gravel on the way down!

“Throughout all our test rides, probably the most glaring and consistent observation riders made was how balanced the Kona’s handling felt… On the way back down that very trail, we literally almost forgot it was an e-bike.” -Road Bike Action

The Libre EL

We're boldly going where few have dared to roam. Our ultra-successful Libre receives the electric treatment, bringing big gravel adventures to more riders than ever before.

A Shimano E7000 drive unit is powered by a fully integrated 504 Wh battery.

The E7000 display is intuitive and can be synced to a smartphone via bluetooth.

The Libre EL includes a dropper post for when the trail calls for more aggressive descending.

The Libre EL features the Kona Verso Carbon fork complete with 3-pack cage mounts that are excellent for carrying gear.

The Libre EL has tire clearance to run 650x47c or 700x45c tires with fenders.

The Libre EL uses the same hanger as the Libre models and features a 12x142 e-thru dropout.
