Curve SL

PERFECT FOR...
...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.

 

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.

FREE TUNE-UP - a £30 value!
Dahon requires all of their bikes to be checked and adjusted by a trained bicycle mechanic before riding.
This activates the warranty and you can then upgrade to a lifetime warranty simply by sending the warranty card in.
Without this service, you'd have to bring your bike down to the local bike shop for a tune up before riding and you'd get charged up to £30.
We offer this service for free, so when you get your bike from us, all you have to do is unfold it and you can start riding.
