  • Politely slipping onto crowded trains on your way to work
  • Taking on the “folding-bikes-only” subway
  • Weekend rides around Central Park

The Curve SL is Dahon’s top of the line super-light compact commuter bike. As would be expected it folds in seconds, weighs next to nothing, and is small enough to fit into a shopping bag when folded. But where it really shines is how well it rides. The BioLogic II frame geometry is reassuringly stable. A Shimano Capreo 9-speed drivetrain provides all the gears needed for gruelling commutes. Designed for the daily commuter who really wants to move, the Curve SL delivers surprising speed in a small package.

  • Weighing only 10.1 kg, the Curve SL is one of the lightest compact commuter bikes on the market
  • Custom Schwalbe 16” Marathon Racer tires are rocket fast and silky smooth
  • Compact folded size means it stores easily under your desk, in a closet, or under your bus seat
  • Shimano Capreo drive train is specially designed for small wheel bicycles and provides a wide range of gears for almost any terrain
  • V-Clamp frame hinge is incredibly strong, safe, and easy to operate
