SEE IT FOLDED
- Park and Ride
- Slipping by the “no-bikes” doorman, with your bike neatly tucked in its bag.
- Riding to Sunday Brunch at that new café you heard about.
The first Dahon bike was created to solve a basic problem: how to quickly get from your home to the nearest train or bus station; and then how to get from your train or bus stop to your place of work. For this type of commuting, a bike needs to fold fast, it needs to be light enough to carry easily, and it needs to fold small enough to tuck out of the way on a crowded train. The Curve XL is Dahon’s smallest, most fully-featured bike designed for the daily commuter.
- Folds in fifteen seconds to the size of a shopping bag.
- Shimano Nexus premium hub features eight smooth-shifting gears for virtually maintenance-free riding.
- An integrated pump is hidden inside the seatpost and always ready when needed most.
- Patented V-Clamp frame hinge is incredibly strong, durable, and easy to operate.
- Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires have a layer of Kevlar for increased puncture resistance
