KONA DEW (Gloss Niagara) | An all-around commuter that cruises through the city with ease
From daily commutes to casual cycling. KONA's classic commuter bike that combines lightness and reliability.
The KONA DEW is a lightweight, easy-to-handle, all-around bike that you can enjoy for everything from daily commutes to weekend cycling.
The 6061 butted aluminum frame, featuring a newly designed commuter-specific geometry, strikes a perfect balance between the nimble ride of a sports bike and stability. It's easy to handle for city travel and offers a comfortable ride that makes you want to get on it every day.
The drivetrain features a reliable Shimano ESSA 8-speed, and the brakes are Tektro hydraulic discs. This setup ensures peace of mind for daily use like commuting to work or school, as it's less affected by weather or road conditions.
Furthermore, the natural riding position provided by the Kona Commuter Riser Bar and the high stability of the 29×2.0-inch WTB GROOV-E tires allow for comfortable riding even over bumps in the city or slightly rough roads. It's a simple yet reliable commuter bike that truly integrates into daily life.

I think this is a very well-balanced model among KONA's city bikes.
While offering a lightness similar to a hybrid bike, the wider 29x2.0-inch tires provide ample comfort. It feels secure over bumps and rough pavement, giving it a strong impression of practicality for city use.
The position of the riser handlebars is natural, making it an easy-to-handle setup even for those unfamiliar with sports bikes. It's perfectly suited for commuting, school, daily errands, and even slightly longer weekend rides.
It's also recommended to customize it for practicality by adding racks or fenders, making it a commuter bike that truly blends into urban life.
