BIKES - PRESTO LITE

Presto Lite

Price: £399.99


You can search far and wide but you won't find a lighter, more portable, or better riding folding bike designed specifically for rail or bus commuters. The Presto Lite weighs an almost unbelievable 8.6 kg. (18.9 lbs.) and folds to the size of a small shopping bag that disappears under bus and train seats. To reduce the weight of the Presto Lite, we've packed it with technology and proprietary components from last year's Limited Edition Helios XX anniversary bike. But to cut weight, we haven't skimped on everyday features that commuters demand, like a SRAM 3 speed hub for efficient riding in variable terrain, powerful all-weather V brakes, mudguards for weather protection, and a kickstand so you have both hands free when you stop for a coffee on the way to work. If you need the ultimate super light, super compact bike for rush hour commutes by train or bus, this is your bike.
