Shimano’s Alfine internal gear hub gives you silky smooth shifting without the fuss and hassle of a noisy derailleur. The Alfine’s double roller clutch engagement mechanism allows for smooth, quiet shifting. With all the gears and shifting mechanism tucked away inside the hub, protected against the elements, the Alfine internal gear hub needs very little maintenance, leaving you to concentrate on the most important thing, riding.

Component

Avid’s FR5 brake levers are ultra light and exceptionally stiff. They deliver excellent modulation and single finger braking power.

Component

The BioLogic™ AirFlo is an ergonomic saddle designed for comfort. The Mojo Groove, a long central channel, eliminates pressure on soft tissues that normally hurt after a long ride. The wider rear provides excellent support for your “sit” bones. An air scoop on the underside of the saddle channels air into the Mojo Groove to keep you cool and dry on long rides. High-density foam and a proprietary DuraSoft cover with built in stretch will make you wonder why all saddles aren't this comfortable.

Component

BioLogic VB brake levers feature a cleverly integrated bell with a sweet, clear chime. The ergonomically shaped levers mold perfectly to the curvature of your hand for easy modulation. The final touch is a soft Kraton insert in the lever: they improve grip in hot or wet weather, and in cold weather you won’t find your fingers freezing to them.

Component

Cables are what connect you to your brakes and drivetrain so it’s critical that they work consistently and reliably. But since high and low quality cables look largely similar, they are also one of the most common places to cut some cost and quality. Dahon LiveWire cables have more quality built in so they’ll work better for longer. Most Dahon LiveWire cables feature full length, uninterrupted housing so there are fewer places for water and grit to enter the system.

Component

The Dahon Turtleneck seatpost clamp is an elegantly-designed, functional piece of bike gear. The extra long quick-release lever applies more tightening force with less effort. The brass bushing makes it more durable. Stainless steel bolts are rust proof. And, a small 2.5 mm lock bolt locks the collar securely in place.

Component

Once you ride Ergon grips, you’ll never go back to your old grips. They are that good! Designed by a team of mad Germans who obsess about ergonomics to improve comfort and performance. The unique shape of Ergon grips is designed to put your hand in a more relaxed position so that fatigue is substantially reduced. The angle of the wrist is also optimized to reduce stress on the ulnar nerve. The MR2 version features magnesium bar ends for additional hand positions.

Component

The Neutron Pro is made to our 74 mm compact dimensions for optimal strength and bracing angles when paired with 16” and 20” rims. The patented design places the cartridge bearings as close as possible to the point of loading at the fork ends for improved strength and durability. Flanges are a beefy 4 mm thick, to take the stresses of high spoke tensions and radial lacing.

Component

Brakes are pretty important: use cheap ones and you'll end up sliding into oncoming traffic at a stoplight whenever it rains. That's why we demand the most advanced brake technology for our bikes. Kinetix SpeedStop V-brakes are ultra smooth and powerful and are specially designed to suit the unique geometry of Dahon bikes. The SpeedStop front brake includes our custom Flex brake noodle: a flexible stainless steel pipe that is much more resistant to damage.

Component

The Kinetix Supra Crank is optimized for excellent strength to weight characteristics and sleek good looks. It is substantially stronger and stiffer than the cranks it replaces. It also features a beautifully matched machined aluminum chainring protector. Hand-polished finish.
