2008 Dahon Matrix Description
The all-new Matrix is a versatile folding bike that will take on anything you throw at it. Drop it down on the nastiest potholed roads and the hydraulically-damped fork smooths everything out. On tarmac, lock out the fork and you can hammer away efficiently. Slap some knobbies on and you can even take the Matrix off-road. For 2008, Dahon have given the Matrix a brand new frame featuring LockJaw folding hinges: when locked down, the hinges are incredibly strong but virtually invisible so nobody will even know you’re on a folding bike.
