German YouTube channel World of MTB has just published a gravel bike shootout featuring the Libre CR. They loved the bike's comfortable seating position and its balanced handling, as well as its use of well-balanced components.
"The Kona Libre CR is aimed at ambitious gravel riders looking for a lightweight and performance-oriented bike. With its carbon frame, modern geometry, and high-quality components, it is especially suited for fast gravel roads, sporty tours, and adventures. The Libre is versatile, but with a focus on speed and trail fun rather than fully loaded bikepacking."
