2008 Dahon Hammerhead 8.0 Description
Don't let the small wheels fool you - the Hammerhead is as fast as many full-sized road bikes, especially if you do a lot of climbing. The Hammerhead is a performance road bike designed around compact 20" wheels. Small wheels are slightly higher in rolling resistance, but they are also inherently lighter, faster to accelerate, and most importantly, more aerodynamically efficient. Compared to the fastest 700c race bikes, the Hammerhead gives up a bit of speed but oh my, is this bike ever easy to transport. You can FlatPack it in thirty seconds to fit in the elevator up to your apartment or you can P.A.Q. it in 15 minutes into it's suitcase so you can bring it with you on your next trip. Ever fly to some amazing place on a business trip and wish you could go for a quick ride? Now you can.
