Dahon Vitesse D7 2008
|
|
|
|
|
When you combine a light aluminum frame with Dahon’s latest patented technology and equip it with their Deluxe component package, the result is one of the best values on the market. The Vitesse was recently rated the overall winner in a folding bike shootout, beating out Giant, Brompton, Birdy, and many other bikes costing up to four times as much. Six patented technologies add up to a terrifically stiff frame. For 2008, they’ve added an even stiffer larger diameter Radius Telescope handlepost that adjusts to fit any rider or riding style. They also fit a drivetrain with a revolutionary 7 speed Dahon Neos rear derailleur and 11-30T freewheel that increases the gear range over former 6 speed models by an astounding 37%.

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.
