  • Fast cruising around campus.
  • Bar hopping (eco style) on Friday nights.
  • Exploring in Costa Rica.
  • Taking with you on that trip to Spain.

Probably the best combination of performance and value in our product line, the Speed P8 is perfect for long commutes, weekend exploring, or touring. The Speed P8 shares the same frame as the Speed Pro and combines it with our no compromise Premium component package. The Speed P8’s stiff frame, rigid Radius handlepost, and plush-riding Schwalbe Big Apple tires inspire confidence on even the worst roads. Upgraded in 2008 with a Dahon Neos 2.0 derailleur, light weight SlipStream aluminum fork, and BioLogic™ Aria saddle.

  • Dahon Neos 2.0 derailleur serves up super fast and precise shifts.
  • 4130 chromoly frame with custom drawn Sonus tubing and Lattice forged hinge incorporates patented Re-Bar™, WrapAround chain stay and Fusion technologies.
  • BioLogic™ II frame geometry delivers enhanced stability, control and comfort.
  • Light, strong, and fast Kinetix™ Comp wheelset.
