2008 Dahon Smooth Hound 6.0 Description
Old school touring bikes are a pain in the neck to get to and from your touring destination. Dahon think that touring bikes need to be easy to transport. The Smooth Hound packs flat in seconds and slips easily into a shoulder bag for you to carry around or stash at night. Fifteen minutes is all it takes to pack it into an airline legal suitcase. Yet the Smooth Hound has all the features you need for comfortable, convenient touring: the tall head tube let’s you sit a bit more upright, for long hours in the saddle; BioLogic™ handlebars are ergonomically designed to give you multiple hand positions; luggage racks are set closer to the ground for a lower center of gravity and improved load stability; and in a nod to Old World functionality and workmanship, the Smooth Hound features a hand-made Brooks Champion leather saddle in a Dahon custom antique brown color.
Dahon Smooth Hound 6.0 Technology Highlights
- Custom BioLogic™ handlebar offers multiple hand positions and excellent comfort.
- Ultegra bar-con shifters and Shimano Tiagra drivetrain.
- Dahon F.I.T stem adjusts quickly for optimal comfort in any kind of terrain.
- Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires with Kevlar puncture protection.
The Dahon Smooth Hound 6.0 is perfect for
Touring in Tuscany.- Vineyard hopping in Napa.
- Beating traffic to work on Monday mornings.
