2008 Dahon Curve SL Description
The Curve SL does everything you'd expect as the top-of-the-line Dahon commuter bike: it folds in seconds, weighs next to nothing, and folds small enough to fit into a shopping bag. But where it really shines is how well it rides. BioLogic™ II frame geometry is reassuringly stable. A custom Shimano Nexus 8 Premium hub provides all the gears you're likely to need on a commute. And custom Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres are fast, smooth and easy to accelerate. Slip a Curve SL into an El bolso and you'll be instantly mobile, anytime, anywhere.
Dahon Curve SL Technology Highlights
Patented new V-Clamp frame hinge is strong, durable and easy to operate.- The Kore saddle and post combination is light, comfortable, and offers twice as much fore/aft adjustability.
