Dawes Bike Covers — Galaxy, Karakum & Discovery

Dawes is a long-standing British name in touring and everyday bikes — the Galaxy in particular is a bike people buy to ride loaded, and to keep for years. Bikes like that are working bikes: they do the commute, the shopping run and the summer tour, and they are rarely carried upstairs at the end of a day.

So they get parked outside instead — in the yard, beside the shed, in a passageway or locked to a rack. The touring and road models take the STASH or the URBAN, which are the same size as one another; the hybrid and mountain models take the XL / MTB.

Which BikeParka fits your Dawes?

Front and rear racks, panniers left on, a bar bag or bar-end extensions all add width, so a Galaxy in full touring trim is worth checking with us before you order.

Every cover is a waterproof rain cover in seam-sealed ripstop, PFAS- and PFC-free. The URBAN has built-in lock-through panels; the STASH and XL / MTB have brass eyelets at the hem for a cable lock.

Which size cover?

Measure across the bars first. The STASH and the URBAN are one fit, up to 63cm, which is the Galaxy, Karakum and Century; the XL / MTB takes up to 100cm and suits the wider-barred Discovery and Sonoran. Children's bikes and BMX have their own Kids / BMX cover.

Dawes cover questions

Which cover fits a Dawes Galaxy?

The STASH or the URBAN. They are the same size and both fit standard bikes with handlebars up to 63cm, which covers the Galaxy. Choose the URBAN if you want the built-in lock-through panels so cover and bike can be secured together, or the STASH if you would rather thread a cable lock through the brass eyelets at the hem.

Is the Karakum the same fit as the Galaxy?

Yes — the Karakum and the Century both sit on the STASH or URBAN alongside the Galaxy.

Why does the Discovery take a different cover?

The Discovery is a wider-barred bike, so it takes the XL / MTB, which handles handlebars up to 100cm and has the room for bigger frames. The Sonoran takes the same cover.
