  • Flying by traffic on your morning commute.
  • Weekend rides around Central Park.
  • Leaving bike thieves out in the cold, while the Mu SL sits warm behind the couch.

At only 8.3 kg (18.3 lb), the Mu SL always brings a smile when someone picks it up. The smile gets bigger when they take it for a spin. Incoporating everything we know about making an ultra-light and fast-folding bike for all-around use. A 7005 aluminum frame and six patented technologies add up to an incredibly stiff platform that helps the bike surge forward with each spin of the cranks. The Kinetix Pro wheels are the lightest, fastest compact wheels on the planet. For speed and an ethereally light bike, look no further.

  • Folds in seconds and is easy to carry so it never needs to be left behind.
  • The Syntace VRO adjustable handlebar system allows minute adjustments to handlebar height and reach for optimal rider positioning.
  • Kore I-Beam saddle and seatpost allow 200% more fore/aft adjustment for additional ride position optimization.
  • Dahon Special Edition Schwalbe Kojak tires are rocket fast yet comfortable over even less than perfect roads.
