The Cadenza is an urban machine designed for hard-core riders who need a bike to get them around fast, in any weather, no matter what the road conditions. Compact double gearing and high pressure Conti slicks take care of the speed. BioLogic grips, an adjustable Dahon Axis stem, and BioLogic Aria saddle take care of comfort. Avid disc brakes and an integrated pump hidden inside the seatpost serve as prevention for urban road hazards. And patented LockJaw technology lets you fold the bike in under 30 seconds so you never need to let your urban companion sit outside.
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 Espresso is the bike for urban adventures: to the park on a sunny weekend; down the street for a lazy Sunday brunch; or to the market for some fresh penne, tomatoes, and a bottle of wine. For 2010, the Espresso gets a complete makeover. The patented new Dahon Axis stem lets you fold the Espresso with a minimum of effort and Schwalbe Big Apple tires mean that you go faster, in a lot more comfort. The new Espresso is a shot of caffeine to your cycling lifestyle.
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 Jack is designed to go at any pace you choose and to roll over anything in your path. Forget leaving your urban machine in that communal bike garage and getting nicked and scratched; keep it inside and safe… with you. That’s how it should be, right? The Jack is designed around a beefy 7005 aluminum frame and phat Schwalbe Big Apple tires. We’ve equipped the Jack D24 with 24 gears for riders who’ve got San Francisco-type hills in their commute. Human power – gotta love it.

The Jack is designed around a beefy 7005 aluminum frame and phat Schwalbe Big Apple tires. The Jack has seven nicely-spaced gears to keep things simple, enough for most anything you’re likely to encounter in the city. What kind of bike is this? It’s a human powered urban machine, Jack.
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.
