Uses Extreme Performance Components
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.
A steel hardtail for anything from flowing singletrack, to epic all day rides. Our good friend Joe Murray, mountain bike hall of famer, two-time U.S. mountain bike champion, and probably the most respected name in steel hardtail design, helped us design the Flo. The goal was to build the ultimate go-anywhere-in-the-world ride. With Joe’s frame geometry and Reynolds’ 631 air-hardened steel tubing, the Flo delivers a ride that’s incredibly smooth, yet lively. Fifteen minutes is all it takes to pack the Flo into a suitcase for easy travel. You’ll never have to leave your mountain bike at home again.
The new LockJaw family of mini bikes is a completely new take on urban bike design and the Hammerhead heads the category. The super compact DualArc frame is incredibly stiff – stiffer than most full size bike frames. The Hammerhead is a fast, agile flat bar road bike that’s as suitable for weekday commuting as it is for a weekend century. Rocket fast Kinetix Pro wheels and a SRAM X9 drivetrain with DoubleTap shifters get up to speed in an instant and are perfect for blazing past cars stuck in urban parking lots. Best of all, the Hammerhead now folds, so it’ll go anywhwere with ease.
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.
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.
The Mu SL is the lightest bike in our range. It incorporates just about everything we know about making an ultra-light and fast-folding bike for all-around use. For riders who spend a lot of time folding and carrying their bikes, the wonderfully light weight is a joy that’s sure to bring a smile. But we didn’t sacrifice performance and comfort for the sake of light weight. The Mu SL incorporates top of the line bike components including Kinetix Pro wheels and SRAM’s DoubleTap flat bar shifters. The ultimate in super portable urban transport.
The Speed Pro TT is the bike for the serious roadie who wants it all: a bike that can take on a century as easily as it can pack into a suitcase for travel. The SRAM DualDrive gearing delivers 27 gears for anything from the steepest hills to hammering on the flats. And the BioLogic II frame geometry combined with a Syntace VRO adjustable handlebar system let you dial in the perfect riding position. Serious speed has never been so portable.
The all-day, all-weather, all-roads, travel bike. The Tournado is a hand-made, lugged steel touring bike that celebrates classical frame geometries and component designs. In true hand-made tradition, each frame is painstakingly welded and brazed from Tange Prestige tubes. The result is a superbly balanced, supple ride that will deliver mile after mile of smiles and still packs easily into a suitcase for your next adventure.
