At a glance

The 2021 Kona Dr Dew is an hybrid road bike. It is priced at $1,399 USD, comes in a range of sizes, including Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and a shimano drivetrain. The bike is part of Kona's Dr. Dew range of road bikes.

The Dr Dew is sure to be a looker among the throngs of urban bikes. This year the Dr Dew moves to a sleek, Cromoly Butted frame in subtle yet eye-catching colors. Shimano’s new 12-speed Deore groupset keeps shifting ultra-smoothly and is geared for any big hill the city may have. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes keep the speed in check, and WTB Horizon Road Plus Puncture Protection 650B x 47 tires keep the potholes at bay.

Kona Cromoly
Very few materials offer as much shock absorption, durability, and supple-ride characteristics as steel. We’ve never strayed from cycling’s original material and have worked tirelessly to adapt, refine, and innovate Kona Cromoly framesets as rider demands continue to evolve.

Tapered Head Tube
More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder while providing confident steering performance.

The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup—maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed.

Tubeless Compatible Rims
Tubeless rims allow for tires with more puncture resistance; the ability to run lower tire pressure, which provides better tire grip on the trail; lower rolling resistance; and weight savings over traditional tube and tire systems.

12x142mm Axle
12x142mm, 12×148, and 12×157 rear axle standards provide two major advantages to the Kona rider: the 12mm diameter of the rear axle provides the rear hub and frame with a stiff interface, while the 142/148/157mm outer dimension of the hub allows the wheel to be quickly and properly positioned in the frame before the rear axle is inserted.

650B Wheels
650B wheels and tires have a similar overall diameter to a traditional 700c gravel or commuting tire but with a smaller diameter rim and a wider, taller tire. The extra air volume in this new generation of urban and mixed-surface tires means they can be run comfortably at lower pressures while still rolling quickly on a variety of surfaces. It’s the best of both worlds.
