I just bought a new Kona Dew 5 weeks ago, color is "Matte Bloodstone" and it is a fantastic bike. Looks a lot like yours, almost exactly the same color and all. Thanks for your review.
Adorable 🥰 family Andy; Kona dew got me started riding this year; Lost 20lbs in 6months riding 3-4x/week about 30-60min/ride Best bike I’ve own so far!
I have a Kona Dew Plus 2020, XL, all black. I use it for just about everything except mtn. biking: commute, gravel, hybrid. The bike handles superbly and is a joy to ride and it would be much better if the designers got over the fallacy of lowering air pressure in tires for a smoother ride. This may be good on the mountain trails, but it is ridiculous on the roads and dirt roads I usually ride on. I live in central Vermont, in the middle of the green mtns, and these roads and dirt roads can get excessively steep:). You can't climb these and live to tell about it on 30-40 pounds of pressure, so I've had to modify the Kona with seat/handle bar suspension so I could pump up the tires to a higher pressure. I took out the WTB Horizon tires that came with the bike for WTB Venturas (love the tan tire wall) as I can get more pounds in the tires to make it easier to ascend these climbs and to roll over our potholed pavement. I also put a nine-speed cassette on the back. These modifications have made it into a much more comfortable and versatile bike and I think Kona should think about that in future models of the Dew.
Hi, thanks for your review. Wondering if the Kona Dew is suitable for long distance touring with front and rear panniers? Would appreciate your opinion......thanks
