The Speed D3 model even features the BioLogic™ PostPump, a seatpost that integrates a large volume floor pump – so you’ll never again need to worry about leaving your pump at home.

"It is simple to unfold and has
by far the best locking system here. What’s more, it’s
a good size to ride, and offers varied saddle and seat
height adjustment. As well as being light and collapsing
into a compact package, it has well spaced gears and a
decent price."

Product Multi-Test: Folding Bikes
for under £400: 1st place
A value package, with a chrome molybdenum steel frame,
stylish oval cross-beam, handy side stand and rear rack.
With 20-inch wheels, it gave a stable ride and the V-style
brakes felt safe. Both testers liked the ride, especially
the six-speed Shimano gears and security offered by larger
tyres. The Speed 6 may not suit all sizes but it’s light
and the price is right.
