2008 Dahon Vitesse D3/D7HG Description
The Vitesse folding bike is for those who want the ultimate bike for urban commuting. Dahon took their award-winning Vitesse D7, added an internal gear hub plus components from top component suppliers. Then Dahon topped it off with mudguards, a rack and even a trouser saving chainguard so you can ride in any weather. New for 2008, the Vitesse gets upgraded with the robust new Radius handlepost. Dahon have also added a new model with a smooth shifting Shimano Nexus 7 speed hub.
