In this paper we characterise the pointwise size and regularity estimates for the Dunkl Riesz transform kernel involving both the Euclidean metric and the Dunkl metric, where the two metrics are not equivalent. We further establish a suitable version of the pointwise lower bound via the Euclidean metric and then characterise boundedness of commutator of the Dunkl Riesz transform via the BMO space associated with the Euclidean metric and the Dunkl measure. This shows that BMO space via the Euclidean metric is the suitable one associated to the Dunkl setting but not the one via the Dunkl metric.
