This is a little blog series about great bikes with attainable price tags. Check out our Bikes With Reach initial post for an survey of over 30 models available under $1000. Check out our entire lineup of brands and bikes at our Bike Spec Sheet.
The Kona Dew Plus is a 650b road/gravel/commute with hydraulic brakes, coming in at $699.
We at 718 have been working with Kona for over 7 years. The Kona Dew series of bikes has evolved into quite a well priced and excellently spec’d ride. The tires alone come in at $120 retail. On many bikes at this price point, brands “cheap out” where they can…Kona adds quality parts to the mix.
“You know what you want in a city bike. A comfortable saddle atop a durable frame with updated, comfortable geometry. The Dew Plus is available in two colors and features strong Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, a 9-speed Shimano drivetrain, and quality Shimano cranks, making it the choice for commuters that are looking for a dependable bike in an affordable package”. www.konaworld.com
Gumwall tires make every bike look better
You can order this bike from us via email. phone or shop visit. Lead time is usually less than a week if we don’t have your size/color in stock at out tiny 320sf shop.
We value our relationship with Kona, as they are ALWAYS looking for ways to help us as a dealer. We recently moved to a smaller space (Jan 2020). Whereas some brands would be concerned with their “numbers going down”, Kona was concerned about our shop’s sustainability. They saw it, rightfully so, as a shop that was certainly downsizing, but looking to focus more on its sustainable vendor/partners.
The Dew Lineup has five bikes, priced from $599 to $1099. If you are looking for a city commuter that has the capability for so much more, check them out.
