The Vitesse is for those who want the ultimate bike for urban commuting. Dahon took their award-winning Vitesse D7, added an internal gear hub plus components from top component suppliers. Then they topped it off with mudguards, a rack and even a trouser saving chainguard so you can ride in any weather. New for 2008, the Vitesse gets upgraded with the robust new Radius handlepost. They’ve also added this model to the range with a smooth shifting Shimano Nexus 7 speed hub.
UK Colour is Cobalt Blue

- Great bike for commuting as not only is the Shimano hub gear itself invulnerable but also the control cable and mechanisms are safely enclosed within the confines of the rear chain stays making it far less prone to damage when taking it on and off buses and trains.

This is our picture of an actual UK version model. The bike has a rather attractive semi-matt finish in Cobalt Blue for the UK, all in all a very good bike, with the hub gears being a delight to use in the city traffic, or on the towpath. The full chainguard can also be of benefit for some as it makes for cleaner handling.

All Folding Bikes are thoroughly prepared and checked in the workshop in order to validate the warranties, this involves a thorough setup and adjustment of spokes, bearings, brakes, gears (stops and cable adjustment). The chainset and crank, handlebars and all nuts and bolts are checked for tightness and the pedals fitted. Finally the tyre pressures are set and the folding joints and all quick releases are lubricated and adjusted. After a brief test ride (mainly indoor) they are then carefully packed back into the original boxes using appropriate packaging, this means that the bikes when received and unfolded are ‘ready to ride’ . All 26” wheel Dahon bikes arrive in the UK in boxes with the frame unfolded but the bike partially dismantled. We have taken the decision that in order to properly achieve our highest aim and that of the responsible manufacturers with whom we liase, that we therefore, properly prepare then fold the completed bike with only the handlebar removed, it is therefore necessary for us to repackage the bike accordingly on account of it’s larger size when assembled.
