2008 Dahon Mu P8 Description
The Mu P8 folding bike is one of Dahon's most versatile all-around bikes. It’s wonderfully light, fast enough for long weekend rides, and stylish enough to turn heads everywhere you go. For 2008, the Mu gets substantially updated with the robust new V-Clamp frame hinge, a Radius handlepost, the super fast shifting Neos 2.0 derailleur, and a light-weight SlipStream aluminum fork. Lighter, stronger, faster - just the way Dahon like it.
Dahon Mu P8 Technology Highlights
Dahon Neos 2.0 derailleur serves up super fast and precise shifts; the low profile design keeps the derailleur protected from damage.- Patented new V-Clamp frame hinge is stronger and more durable.
- Kinetix™ Comp wheels and Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires are light and fast rolling.
- Adjustable Radius Telescope handlepost adjusts to give riders a custom fit.
The Dahon Mu P8 is perfect for
- Fast weekend rides.
- Beating traffic on morning rides into the city.
- Vineyard hopping in Napa.
- Stashing behind your seat on the subway.
