Dahon Unveils Vector Line of Performance Bikes Stronger, sleeker frame pushes envelope of high-end folding bikes Dahon, the world leader in folding bicycles, has launched the Vector series of folding bicycles. With a frame based upon an awardwinning design, the Vector series represents the state of the art in folding bicycle technology and is positioned at the top of Dahon’s 2011 product line. Vector bikes feature a patented hydroformed frame design based on the Ios XL, which received a Gold iF Design Award at Eurobike 2010. Hydroforming allows optimization of the strength to weight ratio while imparting a more elegant and sleeker look to the bike. The combination of a patented folding hinge with the hydroformed tubing results in a frame with superb torsional stiffness. “We never stop looking for ways to improve our products,” stated Joshua Hon, Dahon vice president. “We’re incredibly excited about the Vector line of bikes because they feature the stiffest small wheel folding frames we’ve ever developed and they are just fantastic to ride. In product design, being light and strong is a difficult challenge but we managed to nail it with the new Vector platform.”
Vector X10 T h e V e c t o r X 1 0 ’s b e a u t i f u l l y hydroformed frame is substantially stronger and stiffer than the Mu SL frame it replaces. A new 11-36T 10 speed cassette paired with a custom 55T FSA crankset gives the Vector X10 an even wider gear range than other folding bikes with a conventional 53/39T double crankset. Rocket-fast Kinetix Pro wheels and custom Schwalbe Durano tires round out one of lightest folding bikes on the planet.
Vector X27h The Vector X27h is the reincarnation of the iconic Dahon Speed Pro TT using the substantially stronger Vector frame. The Vector X27h sports a wide gear range of 29" – 121" using a SRAM/Shimano drive train to deliver the hill climbing gears of a mountain bike and the big ring gears of a road bike. Dahon Special Edition Schwalbe Durano tires are light and sleek for that extra edge in speedy performance.
