"The Dahon Speed Pro is exactly what David is looking for. With
20-inch wheels and a sub-25-pound weight, it's small, light
and fast enough to carry on the bus." |

"This absolutely beautiful bike has a strong, simple hinged
design, innovative quick release pedals, carbon fiber seat and
handlebars, easy, precise shifting and the whole thing is so
light (it's 18 pounds soaking wet) it shouldn't be street legal."

Allegro Review

"...a regular high-performance bike. The two-part steel
frame was designed by cycling icon Tom Ritchey with a simple,
virtually invisible tube-within-a-tube locking mechanism. Has
a solid feel, no creaking. The 19-pound bike is ideal for triathletes
and competitive racers." |

"Life as a commuter was made simple with the efficient
and easy to use folding design…a tight turning circle and
balanced cornering made whipping through traffic fun and controlled,
variable position handlebars allowed an upright riding position
ideal for a good view of the road." |

and was good to ride too." [Vitesse wins folding bike shootout

Vitesse Review
"... the Vitesse is more or less in a class of it's own.
Is it worth £299? We're joking of course. The Vitesse
would be a reasonable buy at £399, but knock £100
off and the opposition is left reeling. Dahon is on to a winner."
