Speed Pro TT
Perfect for
  • Mont Ventoux.
  • Business trips.
  • Training for your next triathlon.
The Speed Pro 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 custom-drawn 4130 chromoly steel frame is stiff while still offering a supple ride. 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. For 2008 we upgrade to an Ultegra derailleur, Kore I-Beam saddle and seat post, and the new Radius handlepost.

"The Dahon Speed Pro is exactly what David is looking for. With 20-inch wheels and a sub-25-pound weight, it's small, light and fast enough to carry on the bus."

"Take a few moments to adjust the stem and bars to suit your riding style and the Dahon starts to really shine....I was left feeling very good about the Dahon's ride."

"I own 3 Dahons and they are the best!! I've hung up my Schwinn MTB and my wife rides hers more than her $1200 Cannondale!"
- D. Philipkoski, Keene, NH

"Our Speed Pro with Rohloff is a great machine! I have tested it thoroughly in the Swiss mountains; its a tough climber with good traction and it performs well on mtb-singletrack. I didn't have any flutter-problems even at 60 km/h [37.2 mph]."
- T. Loesch, Zurich, Switzerland

"Love my new 2003 Speed Pro and have used it for several centuries…"

"There is nothing out there in that price range that is better than this bike. Seriously. You can get a better bike from Bike Friday but expect to spend over $1,200.00 dollars for the same quality components."
- Steve, USA

"I just finished a four day bike trip on my Dahon Speed Pro through the pan handle of Florida. We toured the St. Mark's Trail, Apalachicola, St. George island, St. Joseph Peninsula and Port St. Joe. The bike ran great and I was very impressed with the speed and comfort. I purchased the bike just for this trip (I did not want the hassle of transporting my Cannondale) via the internet from Calhoun Cycle in Minneapolis. Both the Speed Pro and Calhoun Cycle exceeded my expectations."
- N. Harris, Brentwood, TN

"I took a perverse pleasure in humbling Lance Armstrong wannabes with this flashy orange and black, 25-lb., $1,199 speedster. It has narrow tires, a racing saddle, and handlebars that allow a more aerodynamic position. But while it's a delight on smooth pavement, even a vibration-damping front hub didn't prevent the bike from jarring my bones on bumpy roads."
