Review Of The Dew FS Hybrid Bike From Kona
The Kona Dew FS stands somewhat apart from other bikes in the Kona Dew range – it’s the only model to feature full suspension. However it does show various features common to other Kona Dew models. All these street hybrid bikes represent great value. The manufacturer is well respected, and Kona style is known the world over.
The Dew range is primarily aimed at the street bike market. There’s great demand for bikes that will take you to work and also out and about for fun at the weekend. Most users of hybrid bikes want a bike that is comfortable and easy to use. It should be fast enough for the road, but be able to take to the paths and trails. The Dew FS would seem to fulfil all these demands.
It’s aluminium-framed, using 7005 alloy, butted for strength. The nicely sloped top tube (the slope increased over other models) gives you greater standover clearance and means that the model is unisex. The paintwork is a smart black, or white & blue, finished with eye-catching graphics.
The major suspension component is the Suntour front fork. Great for a bit of off-roading, it will also take the pain out of potholes on the way to work. If the suspension travel is not needed, or you want a bit more stability at speed, the lockout on the fork can be engaged. The suspension seatpost.
The 700 mm wheels and 32 mm tyres will make it easy to cover the miles on the road, which is probably what the bike will be asked to do most of the time.The frame and fork have fittings for mudguards though – essential in a leisure/commuting bike.
The triple chainset gives maximum flexibility on hills and for road speed.
Other features include:-
- Shimano hydraulic brakes. The great advantage of disc brakes is that they help to keep the all-important braking surfaces clear of the mud and also out of the wet. Braking performance is enhanced and wear reduced. The hydraulic system makes for smooth operation.
- 27 gears,with useful ratios, from upgraded Shimano components. The RapidFire shifters are great to use. Changing gear is simple – you just click up and down the range using thumb and forefinger.
- Comfort saddle and flat pedals all make for a practical, no-nonsense bike. Most people will find flat pedals the best option. they can always be changed for cleats at a later date of course.
The Kona Dew FS is a package of quality components, a suspension bike still priced at a level that almost everyone will find appealing. The choice is yours as to whether your style of riding suits a suspension bike. After all, you don’t have to go off-road to experience the benefits of a softer ride!
