  • Taking the long way home from work, just to get some extra miles in.
  • The eastern climb from Bédoin to the top of Mont Ventoux.
  • Discovering how much a folding bike can actually do.

Our top of the range bike for 2009, the Dahon Mu EX is a no-compromise speed machine equipped with the best components available. The Mu EX is stunningly light, stiff, and rocket fast. The precision and effortless shifting of the SRAM Red drivetrain needs to be ridden to be believed. Designed to be an all-around performer: good for anything from centuries, to sprinting to work, to leisurely rides around Central Park. Of course, the Mu EX even folds faster – in about 15 seconds.

  • 20-speed SRAM Red drivetrain is as good as it gets.
  • Weighing in at only 8.8 kg the Mu EX climbs like a mountain goat.
  • Ergon Leichtbau grips with magnesium bar ends allow a large variety of different hand positions to maximize comfort and power.
  • V-Clamp frame hinge is strong, safe and incredibly easy to operate.
  • The SRAM Red cassette is CNC machined from a single 10 kilogram block of steel – the result is unbelievable precision and shifting married to best in class durability.
