Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Frame geometry
2023 Kona Dr Dew has 23 mm more reach than 2018 Kona Dr Dew in the selected sizes.
More reach puts the head-tube reference farther forward, not necessarily the hands.
- Frame geometry
2018 Kona Dr Dew has 24 mm more stack than 2023 Kona Dr Dew in the selected sizes.
More stack places the frame reference higher, not necessarily the handlebar.
- Gearing
2023 Kona Dr Dew has a 16% lower climbing ratio than 2018 Kona Dr Dew.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
Selected-size geometry
Geometry overlay
Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.
Lowest0.76:1Highest3.45:1Total range455%
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
Lowest0.90:1Highest3.45:1Total range382%
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
