Urban Performance Bikes
If your ride to work is less about sunny skies and smooth tarmac, and more about rain, grit and potholed roads, then you need to take a look at the Cadenza XL. It’s primed 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.
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.
We designed the Ios XL to be the ultimate urban bicycle. We included everything an urban cyclist could want: super fast and compact folding, best in class Shimano Alfine hub, hydraulic disc brakes, dynamo lighting and fastrolling, puncture resistant tires. Then we added a bit more. Beautiful hydroformed frame tubes and an adjustable Dahon Andros stem. To top things off, we designed and equipped the Ios with the Dahon Valo light and the BioLogic ReeCharge, which stores energy from the dynamo hub and charges your iPhone or iPod while you ride. Wow!
The Jetstream EX is quite possibly the most technologically advanced folding bike on the planet with its suspension system having been engineered with one of the cycling world’s foremost authorities on suspension. The bike soaks up potholes yet there’s no energy-robbing bob when you hammer on the flats. For 2010, we upgrade just about everything, adding such tasty components as Avid Juicy hydraulic brakes and a SRAM DualDrive 27 speed drivetrain.
Fractured asphalt, potholes, and ruts – the Jetstream P8 can handle it all. The full-suspension design, with suspension kinematics engineered in Germany, takes small wheel bike suspension to a new level. A sophisticated air shock allows tuning for different riders and riding styles.
The Matrix is an urban bike that will take on anything you throw at it. Drop it down on the nastiest potholed roads and the hydraulically-damped fork and Big Apple tires level everything out. On smooth tarmac, lock out the fork and you can hammer away efficiently. We’ve given the Matrix a LockJaw folding hinge too. When locked down, the hinges are incredibly strong but virtually invisible so nobody will even know you’re on a folding bike.
Our top of the range bike for 2010, the Dahon Mu EX is a no-compromise speed machine equipped with the best components available. It’s stunningly light, stiff, and rocket fast. The precision and effortless shifting of the SRAM Red drivetrain needs to be ridden to be believed. Designed to be an all-around performer: good for anything from centuries, to sprinting to work, to leisurely rides around Central Park.
If we were to choose one bike from our entire product line for the rider that wants one moderately priced bike to handle any type riding, the versatile Mu P24 would be it. With a robust 7005 aluminum frame, 24-speed SRAM DualDrive drivetrain, and a selection of premium components, the Mu P24 can do it all. Whatever your mood, whatever your destination, the Mu P24 is ready.
The Mu P8 is one of Dahon’s most versatile, all-around bikes. It’s wonderfully light, fast enough for long weekend rides, and stylish enough to turn heads everywhere it goes. Great performance and a good
value. Our design goals are always lighter, stronger, and faster and the Mu P8 delivers on all three.
La Mu P8 es una de las bicicletas Dahon más versátiles. Es maravillosamente liviana, lo sufucientemente rápida para largas salidas de fin de semana, y lo suficientemente elegante para que todos giren para verla a cualquier lugar a donde vaya. Buena performance por un buen precio. Nuestros objetivos de diseño son siempre: Ligereza, Fuerza y Velocidad. La Mu P8 posee los tres.
