  • Long scenic rides through Appalachia.
  • The Page Mill hill climb.
  • Taking the long way to work.

The Vitesse P18 is a versatile bike designed for just about any kind of terrain you’re likely to meet: think of it as a compact double road bike with faster, more nimble handling. It’s fast enough for hard training rides, yet it can also be loaded up with racks and panniers for touring. And of course it’s incredibly portable so it can be your constant traveling companion.

  • 26” low gear will carry you up almost any grade climb.
  • Folds in under 15 seconds.
  • Integrated pump hidden inside the seatpost is always ready when you need to fix a flat.
  • Dahon Special Edition Schwalbe Kojak tires are lightning fast and deliver loads of traction
