"Maybe you're commuting to work, or maybe you're just out for a cruise. Maybe you're going to grab a beer or get a couple of things at the grocery store. Whatever you're doing, Kona thinks a bike is the better choice. For a long time now, the Dew has been Kona's go-to townie/cruiser/commuting machine. They've revamped them for 2026, providing more options (including a pretty cool steel offering), and have electrified options as well."
"The latest Dew sees an upgrade from previous iterations, opting for a more modern drivetrain and brakes. It sees a 1x Shimano ESSA drivetrain with an 11-45t 8-speed cassette. It also gets Tektro M280 2-piston hydraulic brakes. Along with comfortable commuting geometry, the Dew also has new Kona Commuter handlebars with 70mm of rise. It also rolls on 29×2.0 WTB Groov-E tires. Kona offers the Dew in four sizes, S-XL, and a "Niagra" (powder blue) frame color."
Kona revamped the Dew lineup for 2026, optimizing geometry for commuting with a lower stack, longer reach and chainstays, and a slacker headtube angle. The lineup includes the aluminum Dew and Dew DL plus a steel Dr. Dew and electrified options. The base Dew uses a 1x Shimano ESSA 8-speed (11-45t) and Tektro M280 hydraulic brakes, Kona Commuter handlebars (70mm rise), 29×2.0 WTB Groov-E tires, four sizes, and a Niagra powder-blue color. The Dew DL upgrades to a 10-speed Shimano Cues drivetrain, Shimano Altus hydraulic brakes with 160mm rotors, and a satin 'Future Dusk' finish.
