Probably the best combination of performance and value in Dahon's line, the Speed P8 is perfect for long commutes, fast weekend rides, or touring. The Speed P8 shares the same frame as the Speed Pro and combines it with Dahon's no compromises Premium component package. The Speed P8’s stiff frame, rigid Radius handlepost, and plushriding Schwalbe Big Apple tires inspire confidence on even the worst roads. Upgraded in 2007 with a SRAM X7 drive train, BioLogic™ PostPump, and BioLogic™ AirFlo saddle.
