DAHON GLIDE P8

There is no replacement 2008 model of the Glide being imported into the UK. This model will continue until completely sold out.

Smooth, effortless, graceful… that’s the dictionary definition of Glide, and it’s the perfect description of our newest low step through folder. Instead of jumping in the car for that trip to the local café for a baguette and a latte, grab a Glide and cruise the streets in sleek Euro inspired style. Everything you need for a day (and night) on the bike is right there with you. A rear rack, SKS fenders, dynamo hub powering a powerful Hella front light and the brilliant new Biologic™ PostPump give you the freedom to take your full sized bike anywhere. The train, the bus… the choices are as limitless as the places the Glide can take you.

  • GroundFloor™ low step through frame design
  • Patented DFS technology for a fast and easy 15 second fold

SPECIFICATION

The handlebars on UK version are straighter than the dutch style shown, though they still curve back a little towards you to achieve an upright riding position.

UK Version is fitted with a Biologic Post pump and not the suspension seatpost as shown

Folds very neatly to not much larger than a 20” wheel folder, though it rides like a normal large wheel bike

The Basket is not supplied as Standard from Dahon on this model but is supplied as part of our deal. It mounts securely to the Headstock using a Rixen Kaul Klik fix. This means that the weight does not directly affect the steering, as it is completely free from the handlebars.

The new, and already award winning revolution. The Glide may look and ride just like a classically elegant full size bike but, amazingly, has almost the same folded footprint as a 20" wheel bike. For every person who buys a 20" wheel folding bike, there are probably a lot more that decide not to because they feel they look funny on a bike with small wheels. But with the Glide, riders get the best of both worlds: folding convenience and a traditional looking bike. With a GroundFloor low step frame design, low maintenance gear hub, mudguards, racks and a lighting system, the Glide IS urban mobility.

Price £579.99  including free delivery, Dahon El Bolso carrying bag worth £42.99 + Klick Fix Wicker basket shown above complete with special brackets worth £56.99 !!

An excellent bike particularly for those of you for whom a low stepover height would be beneficial, or if 24” wheels seem more appealing.

Important Customer Information

For those of you who prefer a more personal service, we are always very happy to discuss the advantages of the various models to help quide you towards a bike that is suitable for your requirements and within your budget.  We have a passion for folding bikes and their place in todays society for both the commuter and leisure cyclist alike. Please ring us if you need help or advice on 01666 822330

All Folding Bikes are thoroughly prepared and checked in the workshop in order to validate the warranties, this involves a thorough setup and adjustment of spokes, bearings, brakes, gears (stops and cable adjustment). The chainset and crank, handlebars and all nuts and bolts are checked for tightness and the pedals fitted. Finally the tyre pressures are set and the folding joints and all quick releases are lubricated and adjusted. After a brief test ride (mainly indoor) they are then carefully packed back into the original boxes using appropriate packaging, this means that the bikes when received and unfolded are ‘ready to ride’ .  All 26” wheel Dahon bikes arrive in the UK in boxes with the frame unfolded but the bike partially dismantled. We have taken the decision that in order to properly achieve our highest aim and that of the responsible manufacturers with whom we liase, that we therefore, properly prepare then fold the completed bike with only the handlebar removed, it is therefore necessary for us to repackage the bike accordingly on account of it’s larger size when assembled.
