When you combine a light aluminum frame with Dahon's latest patented technology and equip it with their Deluxe component package, the result is one of the best values on the market. The Vitesse was recently rated the overall winner in a folding bike shootout, beating out Giant, Brompton, Birdy, and many other bikes costing up to four times as much. Six patented technologies add up to a terrifically stiff frame. For 2007, Dahon added the Radius Telescope handlepost that adjusts to fit any rider or riding style.
Highlights
- 7005 aluminum frame with custom-drawn Sonus tubing, integrated head tube, and Lattice forged hinge
- BioLogic™ II frame geometry
- Patented DFS technology for a fast and easy 15 second fold
