Description
The Curve SL does everything you’d expect as the top-of-the-line Dahon commuter bike: it folds in seconds, weighs next to nothing, and folds small enough to fit into a shopping bag. But where it really shines is how well it rides. BioLogic™ II frame geometry is reassuringly stable. A custom Shimano Nexus 8 Premium hub provides all the gears you’re likely to need on a commute. And custom Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires are fast, smooth and easy to accelerate. Slip a Curve SL into an El bolso and you’ll be instantly mobile, anytime, anywhere.
Technology Highlights
- Patented new V-Clamp frame hinge is strong, durable and easy to operate.
- The Kore saddle and post combination is light, comfortable, and offers twice as much fore/aft adjustability.
- MKS QR pedals are precision manufactured in Japan and super easy to operate.
- Dahon Special Edition Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires are light, fast rolling, and have a layer of Kevlar for puncture resistance.
- Ergon grips are the most comfortable grips on the market.
