  • Politely slipping onto crowded trains on your way to work.
  • Taking on the “folding-bikes-only” subway.
  • Weekend rides around Central Park

The Curve SL does everything you’d expect as one of Dahon’s top-of-the-line super-light commuter bikes: it folds in seconds, weighs next to nothing, and is small enough to fit into a shopping bag when folded. But where it really shines is how well it rides. The BioLogic™ II frame geometry is reassuringly stable. A Shimano Capreo 9-speed drivetrain provides all the gears needed for gruelling commutes. Designed to minimize weight, this bike delivers surprising speed in a small package. *North American model NOT equipped with luggage socket *

  • Weighing only 10.1 kg, the Curve SL is one of the lightest compact commuter bikes on the market.
  • Custom Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires are fast, smooth and easy to accelerate.
  • Compact folded size means it stores easily under your desk, in a closet, or under your bus seat.
  • Shimano Capreo drive train is specially designed for small wheel bicycles and provides a wide range of gears for almost any terrain.
  • V-Clamp frame hinge is incredibly strong, safe, and easy to operate.
