CHOOSING A BIKE - SPORT

 

STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR WHEEL SIZE

Dahon makes bikes with four different wheel diameters: 16", 20", 26", and 700c. Wheel size will affect the performance characteristics and folded size of your bike.

 

20" WHEEL SIZE
Most of our customers feel that our 20" models deliver the optimal balance of performance and folding convenience. Our 20" wheel folding bikes are slightly larger when folded than the 16" models but they deliver a more comfortable and efficient ride. With the right components, our 20" wheel bikes are good for distances up to a century. Choose a 20" model if you want performance and portability.

 

26" WHEEL SIZE
26" wheel folding bikes are essentially "regular" bikes that offer portable convenience and Dahon quality. Our 26" wheel bikes feature standard frame geometries for an excellent ride. Virtually all of the components, except for the frame, are off-the-shelf components that can be repaired or replaced in any bike shop. Choose a 26" bike if you want the performance and looks of a "regular" bike but still want folding convenience.
