Dahon Vector X8 Features:
The new Vector frames by Dahon improve upon the older Mu SL folding bike design. A thicker tubing and taller hinge give the Vector X8 folding bike a stiffer, stronger ride than its predecessor. The most amazing part about this frame design is how it still manages to be one of the lightest folding bikes in production after all the upgrades.
This bike can climb like a mountain bike and sprint like a road bike. It's the fastest folding bike on the planet.
For riders more concerned with aesthetics than ride, you'll be happy to learn the Dahon Vector X8 folding bike changed from gray to Obsidian, a sleek jet-black finish. Spinning on reflective red rims, this color scheme is one of the coolest you'll find.
Satisfy your need for speed. Ride the Dahon Vector X8 folding bike.
