Description
Say “hello” to the friendliest folding bicycle around. The Ciao! features an ultra low step through frame design that’s perfect for new riders intimidated by high frames, riders with back or leg injuries, or riders who’d like to ride with a dress. The Ciao! includes a full complement of accessories: front and rear lights, a hub dynamo to power the front light, mud guards to keep you clean, and a sturdy rack to carry stuff. It was voted “Bike of the Year, 2006” in the Netherlands, a country that knows a thing or two about bicycles.
Technology Highlights
- Dahon Special Edition Shimano Nexus 8 hub with fewer spoke holes permits better spoke angles and a stronger wheel.
- Fast-rolling Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires include a Kevlar puncture resistant lining.
- 7005 aluminum frame is strong and light.
- New Radius Telescope handlepost is stiffer and allows optimal riding positions for riders of all sizes.
