Urban Performance Bikes
In 1983, Dahon introduced the very
first Dahon folder. Twenty five years
and over 2.5 million bicycles later,
Dahon celebrates a quarter century
of championing the cause of green
mobility. In commemoration, Dahon
has created the Mu XXV, a Limited
Edition bicycle that represents the state
of the art in folding bicycle technology.
A Puro M7 magnesium frame takes
center stage and is dressed in custom
25th anniversary components from
FSA, Shimano, Syntace, Schwalbe,
Kinetix and Kore. A total of two hundred
fifty individually numbered Mu XXV’s will
be hand-made.
- Puro M7 magnesium is a proprietary new magnesium alloy that has the corrosion resistance properties of aluminum.
- Frame is treated with a special coating that adds additional corrosion resistance, before painting.
- Puro M7 magnesium is 30% lighter than aluminum.
- 25th Anniversary Edition FSA KForce Light crankset with ceramic bearings.
