2008 Dahon Mu XL Sport Description
The Mu XL Sport folding bike is the result of our customers clamoring for a light weight performance bike like the Mu SL, but equipped with a low-maintenance Shimano Nexus 8 Premium hub. The Mu XL Sport is light, fast, and easy to take care of - the ultimate urban commuter.
Dahon Mu XL Sport Technology Highlights
New V-Clamp hinge technology makes the Mu one of our stiffest frames.- Dahon Special Edition Shimano Nexus 8 hub with fewer spokes holes permits better spoke angles and a stronger wheel.
- Dahon Special Edition Schwalbe Kojak tires are rocket fast yet wide enough for secure handling on rougher road surfaces.
- The Kore saddle and post combination is light, comfortable, and offers twice as much fore/ aft adjustability as traditional rail systems.
The Dahon Mu XL Sport is perfect for
- Blasting around town.
- Riding to work.
- Stashing behind your seat on the train.
- Leaving other bike commuters in the dust.
