Take a healthy dose of old school Italian road bike design flair, a liberal application of Brooks leather accoutrements, a sprinkle of pannier and fender mounts and a very large dollop of cruising and touring comfort and voila, just like mamma would make it… well not really, but the new Smooth Hound certainly is an irresistible package of meticulously chosen components. The Smooth Hound packs flat in seconds and slips easily into a shoulder bag for you to carry aboard a bus or train or stash in your hotel room at night. It weighs only 10.8kg and has all the features you’d need (and more) for comfortable, hassle free bike touring. BioLogic™ Handlebars handlebars are ergonomically designed to give you multiple hand positions. Luggage racks are set closer to the ground for a lower center of gravity and improved loaded stability.

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.

*Note: These are Dahons standard model specifications. We do our best to ensure that the specifications listed here accurately reflect the exact parts found on our delivered bikes. However, component changes do occur for various reasons and there may be brief delays on site updates. Dahon reserve the right to make component changes without prior notification, which may cause discrepancies with the information listed on the web.
