  • Fast weekend rides.
  • Beating traffic on morning rides into the city.
  • Vineyard hopping in Napa.
  • Stashing behind your seat on the subway.

The Mu P8 is one of our most versatile all-around bikes. It’s wonderfully light, fast enough for long weekend rides, and stylish enough to turn heads everywhere you go. For 2008, the Mu gets substantially updated with the robust new V-Clamp frame hinge, a Radius V handlepost, the super fast shifting Neos 2.0 derailleur, and a light-weight SlipStream aluminum fork. Lighter, stronger, faster – just the way we like it.

  • Dahon Neos 2.0 derailleur serves up super fast and precise shifts; the low profile design keeps the derailleur protected from damage.
  • Patented new V-Clamp frame hinge is stronger and more durable.
  • Kinetix Comp wheels and Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires are light and fast rolling.
  • Adjustable Radius V Telescope handlepost adjusts to give riders a custom fit.
