  • The every day, all weather bike commuter.
  • Rolling smoothly over the nasty, potholed roads you ride on your morning commute.
  • Park and Ride.

If your ride to work is less about sunny skies and smooth tarmac, and more about rain, grit and potholed roads, then you’ll need to take a look at the Cadenza 8. It’s custom-built for urban riding with Schwalbe’s legendary Big Apple tires and the smoothest shifting drivetrain on the planet – the Shimano Alfine. The 7005 aluminum frame is burly and stiff and even up close you can barely tell that it folds. But fold it does, in less than 30 seconds when you need to stash it in your hallway closet or take it on the bus

  • Looks and rides just like a non-folding bike, but folds for easy transport and storage.
  • The Shimano Alfine hub has eight gears and incredibly smooth shifting – and because it’s a hub gear, it’s super low maintenance.
  • Dahon’s latest folding technology, the LockJaw hinge is almost invisible – you have to look hard to even know that the bike folds.
  • Big Apple tires roll as smooth as silk, but give a soft ride as well.
  • Dahon F.I.T. stem offers 50 mm of adjustment for a custom riding position.
