Dahon Curve SL Features:
The Curve SL features one of Dahon's lightest, most compact frames, so if portability is of interest to you then look no further. The Curve SL is stripped down to just what you need and nothing more: the fenders and rack found on the Curve D3 have been removed, creating a lighter, sleeker bike. The Curve SL also features removable pedals, allowing for an even more compact package when the situation requires it. Its 16" wheels allow for quick acceleration and increased maneuverability, and with the extra strength offered by the Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires, the ride will be smooth no matter the road. With 8 speeds, the Curve SL offers all that you'll need for urban or suburban riding.
The Curve SL concentrates on quality, and there is considerable improvement in the brake levers, shifter, and handlebar grips compared to the Curve D3. For a lightweight commuter that has the added versatility for longer distances, there's nothing more suited than the Curve SL.
